Is it a chum dispenser?

The big black thing is the spring for the garage door.

I took another look; I think you're right.

Fastfishin85 has it correct....it's a 6 1/2 ft tall potato cannon....I can blast a potato close to a 1/4 mile up into the hills....shoots about a 3 ft flame after ignition......yeah, the cops have been called before when shooting this thing off.....laffs

Those tater cannons are a blast! Me and my Brother made a pair. Not six foot long though. More like about 4'. Spray in Hair spray, drop in the tater, and push the grill ignitor in the cap. Ka-Boom!
I would hate to get hit by one.

Hmmmm daron, maybe the yak isn't need to "launch" the baits out onto those shark infested waters? Just a thought.

Bait launching via potato cannon.....I like it.....

[AndrewC]

Frozen Oranges will give you greater range..........they don't tend to tumble as much after launch

If someone decides to take on this challenge, please video tape it.  I thought of launching bait from the beach with sling shots and maybe crossbows but I never thought of a potato cannon.  BTW the frozen oranges is a brilliant idea.  Dominick

There are a bunch of cannon launching bait on youtube, here is one:

I seriously thought about this. Problem is, how do I launch a stingray? Or a half a Bluefish?
If the bait is on the small side, I think its a great idea.

For deploying a big shark bait, a small radio controlled electric boat would work.  There's several of them on YouTube.

The blast from my potato cannon may melt or ruin the line.  I can guarantee that the cannon will shoot twice if not 3 times as far.  I use either ether or acetylene for the gas.....fan some air into it, close the pvc end and hit the electronic ignition (bbq ignitor). If I can figure out how to get it out there, I will.

[BMITCH]

I remember seeing this! I think these guys are from jersey, go figure. Anyway, I think you can have too much velocity which in turn would either rip the bait or just simply leave it on the beach. Anyone who has ever tried to lob a full clam out into the surf knows what I'm talking about. The best is to swim or yak or boat it out. My point is when does it stop becoming surfcasting?

I checked those out too doc. I am into RC, so I know it can be done. That's just more gear I will have to bring and something always goes wrong with a rc boat eventually. I think paddle power is the way to go.
