Hey guys, Just thinking about this tater gun type bait launcher that I have been hearing about. I fish at the Outer Banks some and I know they are not allowed there. Can anybody tell me if they are allowed on the Alabama Coast for surf fishing??? Thanks
Why, a yak is easier, more fun and no legalities.
Heck just toss it on or over the bar, if you can't, then you need to either work on your casting or get a longer rod.
I built a stainless steel one . It works good but a pain to lug around. Like chilli I prefer the yak or a zodiac boat for long drops.
Using a tater gun on the Island? Come on vacation,leave on probation would be the result.
i haven't personally tried this,but seems like it could work without the noise of a potato gun 200-Yard Cannon Kit-10754 - Gander Mountain

The one I made is loud. We've been using it for dam fishing. Had to run it by lake patrol before we started
I have been curious about what Alabama law has to say about these. I was quite the spud gun engineer in my youth, but I now know that my state could consider it to be a "destructive device".
This one was on CL up here a week or so ago....seems a bit much

I'm all for drone that can haul a 10# bait and fly thru at least a 10mph head/cross winds.
oops! Never shark fished; imagined a much smaller "payload". Tons of videos on youtube shooting surf scenes got me on the wrong plane.
The max distance on my is 300 yards. That's pumped up to 200psi.
