I saw an interesting prototype that this kid (teenager)
had when he landed at Doheney a couple weeks ago. He took one of those baby boogie boards that you see kids play with in pools. (maybe 24 inches long) He put a leash on it and cut a rectangle out of the center and sank a small laundry type basket or plastic storage tub into the rectangle. It had very small holes so that bait can't escape. Then he took the part that he cut out and made a lid with handle for it. He said he was still experimenting with weighting it properly so it would track well and stay stay upright under all conditions. He said he was also thinking about shaping the basket into a more hull shape for less drag.
He said he had gotten a half scoop of dines in it on that day, and they were still very lively at the end of his 5 hr paddle.
Just when i think there is no hope for the next generation, I run into a kid like this. Pretty engenius
