Here's an article on some of our earlier work with spud cannons:

I'm coming to believe compressed air is the way to go here.

Trying to avoid buying a bigger boat to feed my habit of catching bull reds. I like sitting on the beach while fishing.

Hoping we can get together and hammer them again bro. Cant wait till we have some nice spring days. Got me a lil bbq pit to bring with me. An afternoon of hauling in bulls and cooking on the beach sounds like some good times. Really hope our families cross paths again buddy.

Hi Mathgeek,

I love shooting spud guns, what a blast! But spotty ignition and spud just rolling out of the tube are a pain in the behind. Check out http://www.burntlatke.com/l3.html; these guys have spent some serious time working out the kinks, using metered propane, spark strips and oxygen/gas mixing in the chamber. 100% ignition every time with none of the frustration.

Next step, you should encase your chosen bait projectile in a suitable sabot material. The big question is, can you make a biodegradable sabot? I would guess something like the peanut material in packing containers that is water soluble, heck if you're really fancy, perhaps a shrimp flavor to further chum the area.

Lastly, attach a reel off of a bowfishing apparatus, mount to said spud gun, launch and attach to rod and reel.

Just remember to take loads of pictures when you get the completed project finished!
