ODDBALL coastal fishing question!!!
I keep toying with the idea of a fat tire E-bike, to use for fishing at the coast. And wonder if you know anyone who uses one for fishing down there? As I was talking to my buddy and he said he sees folks putting them on the Jetty Boat in Port A all the time. It got me to thinking... how far is Cedar Bayou from the North jetty in Port A? Could it be E-bike accessible?!?!? Looking at Google earth it looks to be about 20 miles away, and the E-bike I am looking at has a ~60 mile range. But that range probably is greatly reduced in sand, I would imagine. A second Battery would eliminate my distance issues, and allow me to always have a spare charged. Aventon Adventure 2 link
I am considering the purchase mainly to use when we put leave the RV in Port Aransas for the month of October. The E-Bike would allow me to not strand my wife without a vehicle, and allow her to use my truck for errands and shopping. Instead of waiting around for me, she can run the errands then bring the dog, along with some food/drink in the truck to where I am if I am on the fish. The old scenario was "sorry honey" the fish were biting...
I also thought it might be interesting to use in the marshlands around Wilson's cut where I would not want to risk taking my truck. But the more I think about potentially figuring out how to make it all the way down to the beach side of Cedar Bayou might be fucking incredible. If I make it once and catch fish, I know my buddy will buy one just to not miss out. Plus I just thought it might be cool to take shelling in the more inaccessible areas and buy a second one for the wife.
So anybody know anybody using an E-bike for fishing. I was having a rita with my buddy yesterday musing how cool it would be to pair a drone with the E-bike and just roll down the beach with the drone scouting the water and chasing the bait pods, and looks for the gaps in the cuts. But it might be a great accessory for our RV.
