New Thumper Toy

[dpitt]

Bought a fish Thumper. Apparently they simulate, sonically, white bass, hybrids, and crappie pounding bait fish. I've fished with guides in saltwater who will "thumb" the bottom of the boat to get attention, guessing it's the same idea, curios to see if this works.   I fly fish Clinton(Lawrence,KS) for these species, will let you know if it works.  

It's a ball peen hammer hooked to a 12v motor in an Ammo can. Search "fish thumping" on youtube and you will see videos on the idea.

Yeah let us know what happens

Watched a video once upon a time on how to make one that you use an outboard or lawn mower manual start assembly to operate it.   You just have to give it a pull every 5 minutes. 😊   

Dude said after 3-4 pulls he's usually got them fired up good. 

Ain't gonna lie, I started digging through the parts pile.  Never followed through though, so yeah....let us know. 😎

Dang.  When you said you had a new thumper, I was hoping you were making shine.

Can you come up with something that scares white bass away?  😄

I used to like fishing for them, but got burned out on them.  Now they just get in the way.

It is more of a case of them finding me.  Of course, if I really went looking for them, I would never find them.

It's easy snagged. Just set on the bank with your cane pole and wait for the big run! (fake news) lol
