❌Drone Fishing: Do NOT Make This Huge Mistake!

Enjoying the day on the surf between Flagler and Ormond Beach for fishing. With my Shimano all roller pole and Avet Reel went to try, for the first time, the bait boat in the surf. Used the drone and drop bait but a failure occurred. Watch the video to see what happens with the bait boat and drone.

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

Did you use live shrimp to catch that drone? I hear they're good eating, but al ot of bones and not much meat. So glad you didn't lose

What happened with the drone, did it work after drying out 🤔

[samueldemaio]

get a pair of safety wire pliers for your rigs, twists so nicely and uniformly, and will hold so much better than the hand twists

im looking to get into drone fishing, I have a phantom 4 pro and want to know how/if I could start. what do I need?

[MisterX-ersi]

There are special safety clips which prevent your drone from dragging by the stuck line. Under a heavy load it just unplugs the line. There is also risk that you will not reel the drone back if the safety clip works. At least it is better than end up having your drone in the salt water.

I had 1 issues as well with the drone drop . Only I put to much weight . I used an 8 oz sinker with half a Mac. At first the drone flew out fine but once I got to to about 300 feet the drone began to come down on its own . Lucky my spotter saw what was happing an told me to drop the bait . I was at about 100 ft up an It got down to 25 ft when I dropped the bait . I to use a Air 2 S so all together The 8 oz plus half a macrell I wanna say was close to 12 14 oz of weight is the limit

What bait release were you using on your drone?

Nice first run with boat. Better luck next time with the drone

[Lonestarsharkwranglers]

We use avets for land based all the time they are great!

I did same thing with my drone. I wash it with fresh water 1st then let it dry next day work fine

[jcsmth]

man so sorry about your drone
this make me sacred to try my drone hahah

[edquier]

So I just had to watch again as I just got the SwellPro FD3+ and I am anxious to use my drone and am watching everything I can to avoid those mistakes. Thanks again! and I need to get the Aqua Cat as the Fishing Surfer just does not handle the Pacific surf, lakes and bays ok, real ocean not so much.

The bait boat ran nice. Sorry about your drone

[dougdiamond]

I let the clicker on while flying baits and that prevents the reel from free spooling and causing the spider web tangles

[TheOutdoorHound]

The drop line should be at least 2M from the drone and the ( sinker + bait) to reduce the pendulum effect and risk of the line tangling the propeller .and the next time with any electronics to have any chances of survival unplug the battery first, though salt water is a killer for all electronics .

Here in Denmark I use 0.06mm fishing line 😂

[rudolfviljoen]

You really need a dropper loop attached to the end of your main line and your sinker should we at the bottom of the rig. This way the line doesn’t whip into the propellers if your line snags somewhere… or you run out of line. A paternoster rigs works well.

[thatguyblue]

I didn’t notice a dropper loop on your drone. I think that was your mistake.

[chrisparr]

Do you think the boat or the drone is the better option if only taking baits out 200 - 300 yards?

[stephencasey]

the swellpro drones are good in this instance because they are completely saltwater proof so it would still work, sorry for the loss of it

another thing to mention about swellpro drones, atleast the splashdrone is that if it falls in the water, it is supposed to automatically turn itself upright and you can fly it up again.

Im planning on getting the swellpro fisherman max
