Ensuring accuracy when dropping your bait (Baitboat)

I have a question with regard to ensuring accuracy when dropping your bait utilising a bait boat. How do you go about, do you make use of a maker, do you clip your line in after the first drop or do you just make a rough judgment when dropping your bait.

the most reliable way imo is once you have drop your line stick something on your line
i thin piece of insulation tape etc so next time you see it peeling of your line you know to drop(using center pin reels does help)
marker works well but the u need a canoe and a canoe is the reason i bought a bait boat
line meters ive tried recently but the quality of the ones i bought were i bit dodgey  so i dont think they were to accurate

Mark your line with a permanent marker pen. It work well and you can drop your bait at almost the same spot. You must only sort your direction out

I agree with marking the line...

In the past i used a line meter, what baffled me later was when i put 300m of new line onto my reels and sent the boat 200m according to the line meter, the reel ran off onto the line i used for backing!

Eish  :addnnot!

Na ek my bootjie gekoop het, het ek oor dieselfde ding begin wonder. Ek het toe met die volgende voorendag gekom maar ek twyfel of dit akuraat sal wees. Julle manne wat jag sal dit vir ons dalk kan uitklaar.

Wat as jy 'n tripod stand wat baie stewig kan staan (in die wind en nie omval nie) sweis waarop jy sê 'n .22 se teleskoop kan monteer. As jy jou boot die eerste keer uit vat en op jou spot besluit het draai jy die stand/scope dat die kruis op jou bootjie is. Hierna en dit is bygesê as dit akuraat kan wees op so klein angle en jy jou stand/scope nooit skuif of stamp nie behoort jy jou bootjie elke keer op presies dieselfde plek te kan kry.

Dink julle ouens wat meer weet van jag af of so iets akkuraat sal kan wees?

'n Goedkooper alternatief is natuurlik 'n pvc pyp met 'kruis hare' by of naby altwee openinge. Altwee kruise moet dan inlyn wees met jou spot en later ook jou bootjie as jy jou aas gaan afdrop. Die pyp kan ook help met die 'viewfinder' funksie want ek dink jy kan bietjie sukkel om jou boot eerste probeer slag in jou scope se view te kry.

Soos ek sê dit was maar net 'n idee.

nogal nie n slegte idee nie , alternatief moet mens maar n gps in die boot laat sit , goedkoper opsie wat net so goed werk is die marker float
