Splasher prop

[Ketchup]

Learned something new today. Never heard the word Splasher Prop. Watched a video, and by golly it’s something I’ve never seen or heard anyone speak about.  I thought i knew everything about everything.  Now i do.

I've experimented with a thumper box, and I guess it kinda works.....in a sense.  I mean if the fish are within casting distance it WILL pull some of them right under the boat where you can catch them vertically with a jigging spoon.    But let's face it, you're gonna catch them by casting anyway.   And listening to that thumper box for 20 minutes straight is like being waterboarded.... it'll make you insane.   

It doesn't miraculously make fish appear when they aren't already in the area, and it doesn't "call them in" from a distance greater than 40-50 feet. It also doesn't turn them on and make them go on the feed any earlier than they normally do.   

 

If I just sit adrift over the flats in 6-10' and watch the LCR I can see fish come up and inspect the ticking transducer all the time.  We once had a 4' long gar that absolutely would not leave us alone.....Followed us all over the flat with his snoot right under the transducer.
