Charging question

OK, boys, here is one for you:

I was reading Bass Times and one tournament note said a couple of pros had a small generator on board to charge their trolling motor batteries when out on the water when using their troller hard. It got me to thinking: I fish an electrics only lake and after fishing all day the batteries get pretty low, even with Optimas. Before I got the Optimas Lancer6 and I had to run the big engine to get back to the ramp on one occasion(we called the Sheriff's office and got permission). Anyway, I was wondering if I could hook a power inverter to the cranking battery-it has a cigarette lighter plug, hook it to the onboard charger and charge the troller batteries while I am fishing? This would be one 12 V charging 2 12vs. I don't know if this will work or not. Thoughts?
