Boat fishing has always been loved by people, and is even aptly referred to as "blue heroin."

From the first unintentional contact with boat fishing to the crazy infatuation, a person can't stop like inhaling "heroin."

Of course, people are paying more and more attention to sea fishing vessels because they can enter deep waters to fish by boat and it is easier to receive big fish.

For boats used for boat fishing, the inflatable assault boat is undoubtedly an ideal choice, because it can be deflated and folded and is better to carry than traditional hard boats.

So, which kind of inflatable boat is good for fishing? What should you pay attention to when fishing in a rubber boat? The following will explain in detail for you.

Assault boats are mainly displayed in three forms, glass steel assault boats, inflatable rubber boats, and Hypalon material assault boats.

Modern inflatable assault boats are mainly used by government agencies to perform maritime tasks, which are convenient for transportation, simple and easy to install.

Hypalon-style assault boats are mainly used by armed police and troops to perform important tasks.

Today our protagonist is the inflatable assault boat.

PART 1/Benefits of inflatable assault boat

1. The professional sea fishing assault boat adopts imported special airboat fabric 1.2T1100D/PVC, which has good air tightness, abrasion resistance and long service life.

2. Convenient to carry: The weight of the rubber-steering assault boat is about 60-120 catties, and it can be carried in the trunk of a car after deflation and folding.

3. Cheap price: An inflatable assault boat of about 3 meters can meet the fishing needs of 2-3 people, and the price of a set is about 5000-10000 (boat + hook).

In addition, the fuel consumption of the assault boat is about 2-10 liters per hang-up. A few tens of dollars can meet the daily shipping fee for 2-4 people, and the cost of boating and chartering is between 400-800 yuan a day for 2-4 people.

4. Imported air valve is adopted, which is convenient, safe and reliable.

Compared with wooden boats and speedboats, assault boats have the advantages of light weight, high speed and fast point change. Generally, the on-hook speed can reach 30 knots at 9.9P or above. Changing points between islands and reefs does not delay fishing time.

The current inflatable assault boats are at least 3+1 air chamber structure, as long as there is no leak in the air chamber to ensure that the boat does not sink, the aluminum alloy floor can stand up and fish when the wind and waves are small. It is not easy to turn over and easy to leak in cognition.

5. All bonding parts are bonded with imported glue, with excellent peel strength, high temperature resistance, hydrolysis resistance, and UV resistance. Even under the sun, the firmness of the airboat connection parts is fully guaranteed.

6. Imported materials have high color fastness, the color of the cloth surface is as long as new, and the imported special wear-resistant two-color fender makes the hull durable.

7. Easy to maintain and maintain: Just wash it with clean water and fold it for storage.

PART 2/Select the rubber boat according to the environment

1. Inflatable boats for fishing in the sea

The ocean is the most dangerous water area, with high winds and high waves, so it is very important to the safety of the ship.

Heavy waves can overturn the ship, so the ship must have a certain ability to resist wind and waves.

It is recommended to use an inflatable assault boat for fishing in the sea. The assault boat has a thick buoy and a V-shaped inflatable keel, which will make the boat more stable and will not shake and capsize.

The other is the material. The thickness of the assault boat is 0.9-1.2, and reinforced polyester fabric is added inside to prevent air leakage due to damage to the reef.

The assault boat can also be equipped with a larger power thruster, so that it can be quickly transferred in an emergency.

2. Fishing in complex waters such as large rivers

Assault boats are still recommended. Although large rivers are not like oceans with high winds and waves, they will also produce huge waves when large ships pass by, so the stability of the ship is also very important.

(Complex waters refer to waters with lots of rocks, thorns and stakes)

3. Fishing in reservoirs and lakes

This type of water is calm, there are no strong winds and waves, and the stability of the boat is not strict. You can choose a net inflatable boat.

The material thickness of the net boat is generally about 0.7 mm. It is a medium type of pleasure boat. It is comfortable to ride and weighs more than ten kilograms. It is an ideal product for long-distance travel.

4. Economics

Many people cannot choose more expensive inflatable boats due to economic issues. For example, the net inflatable boat needs more than 500 yuan, and the assault boat needs at least a thousand yuan.

If for some reasons, you can only choose a boat less than 300 yuan, this kind of boat can be used, but it can only be used in non-hazardous waters.

Because this kind of boat is thin, it is easy to puncture and leak, and it is very unstable.

PART 3/Precautions for inflatable boat fishing

1. Basic conditions

The rubber boat has an engine of about 100 kilograms, and the separated part of the engine is about 50 kilograms. A certain degree of strength is the most basic requirement.

There is also a good psychological quality. You may encounter various emergencies and incurable diseases at sea, and you need calmness and patience.

The biggest advantage of the inflatable boat is its flexibility and mobility. I am in charge of my fishing spot. I don't need to look at the boatman's face. I can drive for a few hours after get off work in Xiamen and then come back.

2. Reasonable configuration

It is best to buy imported engines, which have a much lower failure rate and are much safer at sea.

I chose a Suzuki 6-horse 4 punch (24KG, more than 8,000 yuan). This configuration is just right for one person, and the speed is about three times that of a wooden boat. The speed of the two people driving up is about the same as the wooden boat.

In addition, some friends used Dongfa 9.8 hp 2 stroke (26KG, 10,000 yuan). The power is much stronger, and the speed is also fast, but I think it’s a bit dangerous to drive faster. Fishing friends who like speed can choose this configuration.

An external fuel tank is necessary, 12 liters is enough. Bracket wheels and electric pumps must also be prepared.

In short, it must be considered that one person can install and disassemble the entire ship, and push it into the water.

3. Preparation before departure

First determine the weather, recommend the mobile phone software weatherpro and WINDGURU, very accurate, can be accurate to three hours a day. Do not go out to sea at wind speeds of 13 (KM/H) and above.

You can also use the "fisherman" software to check the highest and lowest tide of the day. The tide table of the Taiwan Meteorological Bureau is also very useful.

Before entering the sea, it is necessary to tell the people around you about the location of the sea area of ​​the trip, and you can directly drive the boat to rescue you when you are in danger.

Your mobile phone should be carried with you and packed in a waterproof bag. You can bring more food and drinking water.

Secondly, develop a habit, make a list of equipment, and check and implement them one by one before departure. This saves the most time and effort.

Usually, you should pay attention to collecting points where you can disembark. For example, in Banhu Village in Gulei, the docks in Youao Village are all hard sand. Cars can be driven directly to the water to load and unload ships, which saves much effort.

Suitable for inflatable boats are bass fishing and Chuanji (up to 2 people).

The last is insect fishing, Gong Hai oysters are a little troublesome.

4. Play on the spot

The most common is that the propeller is entangled with the rope. It is the best to untie it. It is too tight and cut with scissors or saw blade.

When you encounter a boat that harvests oysters, hang the rubber dinghy directly behind the big boat. There are always surprises when you follow the fishing, and you may go with the fish steak.

In addition to the accumulation of skills and experience, the aura at the time is also very important. If you feel that you are not in a good state, you would rather take a rest or eat and drink for a while before you act.

5. Installation and disassembly

It takes about half an hour for the boat and engine to be installed, and it takes about half an hour for the boat to be collected after fishing.

If equipped with an on-board air pump, it will be faster and easier to install and inflate.

Inflation should not be overfull, 8-9 fullness is the best. Oars, repair tools, and conventional tools for outboard motors should be carried with the ship. Emergency repairs can also be made in the event of machine failure or damage to the hull pontoons.

Generally, after the rubber boat is disassembled, even the aluminum alloy plate and wheels can be folded and put on the car, and two people can sit down even when they are dispatched.

The hull and machine body should be cleaned with fresh water before storage after each use, and stored in a cool place indoors after they are dried.

Rubber assault boats are best stored in low pressure 6-7 gas, so that the hull material is not suitable for premature aging and has a longer service life.

If it is stored for a long time, it is necessary to safely burn the fuel in the outboard carburetor to avoid blockage when it is used again.

PART 4/Fishing inflatable boat repair method

1. First find out the air leakage point on the hull, and evenly spread the hull with a rag and soapy water while inflating. Air bubbles will appear in the air leakage part. According to this clue, we can find the air leakage point.

2. Clean the stains around the leak with alcohol, and then dry it with a towel. Make sure that the area around the leak is clean and dry.

3. Use the special glue and patch provided with the ship, and cut the patch according to the area of ​​the air leakage point, paying attention to a circle larger than the air leakage point.

4. After cutting the patch, apply glue evenly on the patch and around the air leak with a brush. Wait about 3-4 minutes before applying it again, and apply it twice in total.

5. Glue the patch to the air leakage point, blow it with a hair dryer to the hot air state, and then compact it with a smooth object. It can be used after leaving it for 8 hours.

6. After the inflatable boat is repaired, the boat should be filled with air and placed for more than 2 hours before use.
