I use a potato gun to launch my surf fishing rig out to the 3 rd bar. Works great.

It's the same here. I have a design that I am working as far as the potato gun design goes. I just don't want to use frozen bait. I'm thinking of an environmentally friendly wading. Any suggestions?

What about trying one of those old baloon launchers that were popular 20 years ago. Basically a 3 person sling shot. Just use 2 large stakes in the ground and 1 person could launch by them selves?

Im assuming this is used on a spinning setup. Not sure how it would work on a baitcaster. This seems more trouble than worth. I can sling my 4/0 last the 3rd bar by wading out and casting.
