If you have no sea legs or have worked out owning a boat is a costly exercise but still like to get a catch of fresh fish “The Fishing Torpedo is the answer. Unlike some other devices the torpedo is not dependent on wind and unlike long lines does not need a boat to get it out to where the fish are. It is simply launched from the beach in shallow water and when it is time to bring it in the thrill of fishing is still there when the catch is felt on the line. It is just like surf casting but you are able to get beyond the breakers to where the fish are.
The unit on its own or the complete package including the trolley fits into the boot of the average family car and is very popular with 4WD owners.
Talking of family this is a great recreational past time that all can be involved in and keeps everyone happy.. Head off to the beach, launch your torpedo and for the hour or so while you wait for your catch have a family game of cricket, volley ball or just playing in the sand. And at the end of it, a very good chance of having a good feed to take home for dinner.
The unit has clear instructions and is simple to operate. Most of the set up, ie the charging of batteries, and the assembly of the unit is done at home and with the bait ready all that is left is to choose where to go. A sandy bottomed beach is essential and on some West Coast beaches a check of where prevalent rips are found is vital as these play havoc with any fishing device the torpedo included.
On arrival at your chosen spot simply follow the instructions for launching and 60 to 80 minutes later begin retrieving the line and feeding back onto the reel and watch as excited family members see the catch coming in.
While you may have provided dinner your job has not yet finished. To get maximum use of your unit it is important you follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions so that next time you go out you are all set to go
