The Flying Rib

The more I see these flying boats, the more I want one. You could fly around looking for schools of baitfish, then land and start casting!

The Bassroom

If you’ve spent any time in a small boat, you know the inconvenience of interrupting your fishing to head to shore for a bathroom break. Well now you can enjoy an entire day on the water without a break with the Bassroom portable bathroom.

Personally, I don’t mind making the occasional pit stop while fishing( a good change to stretch the legs and get some food), but if you are so hardcore you don’t want to get off the water, then this is for you!

Don’t forget to wipe your bass.

I Want An Aquatic Vehicle For Fishing..

I found this cool aquatic Jeep on Reddit today. It’s probably one of the nicest aquatic cars I’ve seen that seems to be easily adaptable to fishing. If anyone ever sees one of these in their local trader magazine please let me know!

Built by the folks at the Amphibious Vehicle Design Studio, the Platypus Jeep is a paragon of on-road and in-water capabilities. The floating four-wheeler runs with a turbo diesel engine and is capable of 110 KPH on the road and 10.5 KPH in the water. The hull is designed to work in wave heights up to 1.5 meters and bottoms with a slight 0.75 meter draft depth.

Check out this post on Loqu with more information and photos.

We’ve covered plenty of other aquatic vehicles before on Fishing Fury.. We’ve talked about the Corvette Powerboat, an ATV that turns into a jetski, the classic car known as the ‘Fisher Fury’, the Gibbs HSA, and probably a few others I can’t find right now.

In this modern world we even have cars that will take you underwater, which is great news for all you lazy spear fishermen. It’s called the Rinspeed sQuba and was recently featured on the show Fifth Gear.

Don’t think that aquatic cars are a modern invention, in fact they’ve been around for over half a century! While I like the appeal of a modern aquatic car the look and mechanics of the simple military styling, like the Jeep above, are what I really like. My personal and all time favorite aquatic car is the Volkswagen Schwimmwagen circa 1942!

Dear Schwimmwagen video makers put some music in these videos and mix your capture audio down a bit.. I’ll be more than happy to show you how for an afternoon fishing out of your Schwimmwagen. Until then turn down your sound before playing this video.

There’s even one for sale in the US right now that’s apparently an award winning fully restored show car (no water test). No word if the two Mauser or the MG are included, but those spaces would make nice rod holders don’t you think, heh.. The owner also mentions that he would consider a Ferrari as a “partial trade”, so I doubt you’ll see me in this one anytime soon.

We posted about this one ages ago, and its near the top of my Wish List, but here are some more photos of the beautiful transparent canoe.

I wonder what the fish would think of this…
