I have the best cheapest and easiest and safest way to do this. all you need to do is make a loop with the line.slide the loop over your piece of wire. then you fly out with the drone facing 180 degrees from the way you did in this video then when you get out as far as you want just turn the drone around and simply back up while holding the line on shore and the loop will just slide off of the piece you have made
Hi Russel, Nice video. I want to do the same to start fishing far away from land. Can you please share how do you put the wire in the phantom? Thanks in advance.
so to really drop the bait all you have to do is hold tention on the main line and it will just pull out from the basket most times. some you have to just play with it till it falls off. i think i have to practice this in a very large park that i can go about that far and then try to see how it would work out for me. thank you for this video.
+Mark Raiden Correct. I believe there's better ways to do it like using a key ring of some sort mentioned below. But the welding wire attached to the base of the Drone I believe is the best way to go about doing it.
+Russell Simmons thank you very much. your video was the first that got a good clip of how to drop your bait. thank you very much. now all i have to do is learn how to fly one. LOL
Awesome video Russell! Got a question for you. Did the metal coat hanger interfere with your compass calibration? I made one that is similar for my Phantom 3 Pro that works a bit differently but the metal from the coathanger is making my the drone's compass lose calibration and it's flying erratically because of it. It's fine when I remove it.
+Luke Robilliard Hey man, thanks for the views.. Yep to get the weight off, it was a combination of aggressive movements and putting a little strain on the line (at the pole). It was my first time trying it. Next time I want to use some kind of cheap ring that goes over the metal piece so that when I want it off, I can just pull back and it will slide off more easily.
All you need to do is put a small metal rod sticking straight out from the landing gear. Secure it with zip ties. Then just put your swivel on the metal rod. Fly your drone out turn it around pull softly on your line or just fly your drone backwards then the line will fall off. Simple and easy. No need for all the extra weight and servos.
Remember there is more that 1 way to skin a cat .each to there own If it's working for then Which it obviously is ... then why change it , let alone say it's wrong ! Show us how it's done with your own video if your that worried about it
3:00 holy shit this dude really wants to lose his drone lol. I guarantee he has lost more than one using this set up.
Surf fishing dreams do come true! I need this!
Would like to see someone actually catching fish too. My favorite so far is Tuna jigging from shore with a drone. Epic.
Very Nice !!! Fantastisch gemacht !!! Bravooooooooooooooo :) Like & Koptergruß , Anja
Brilliant, well done
Chris Preston thanks!

Hi Russel,
Nice video. I want to do the same to start fishing far away from land.

Thanks in advance.
It looks like fishing the drone with that bait release mechanism will eventually result in that drone taking a final dip in the ocean
We all know the government cant let this fun activity go unpunished........new laws will be made, this much fun is unacceptable!
Jjaajajau so true!!!
Very cool. I just loaded a vid testing a drop system using only a paper clip
Hodge-Podge Garage that’s a great idea
Hodge-Podge Garage Can you link to the video?
Epic!!!
Freakin' love it! Great now I gotta buy something besides fishing equipment! waits that qualifies! #dronefishing #socalsurfrats #westcoastsurfishing

Very Cool Video! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank You
Russell Simmons Anytime...
nice rig seems like it works well , I've tried this with similar set up on fresh water and had good results , Peace
love it
lol sputnik sinker doesn't work soo great. do you have a pic of how u mounted the sinker holder?
Not bad with the pyramid sinker, the grapnel is too sketchy for my liking
Doing drone fishing this weekend for sharks in NAGS HEAD! Well did you guys catch a fish? I send you shark on line from drone Monday
So to release the line from drone you have it tentioned and pull it?
Yes sir
Ya quisiera ver lo que pescan. Un solo video he visto con captura exitosa...
where your video of the actual set up, Ive seen one before but cant find it now.
Awesome video Russell! Got a question for you. Did the metal coat hanger interfere with your compass calibration?

I didn't notice any interference.. The wire I used was welding wire though
Mike Denham needs to be non ferrous metal.
Expensive cast if goes wrong
Sometimes fish hang out close to the shore :)
smart!
Any thoughts after 7 ears gone? =)
Way to go when drones get cheaper
Did you guys catch fish
I would open that pointed end so you don't pull down your $1200+ Phantom into the ocean, or buy a Splash Drone, at lease that may float back to shore.
Its bad, if the weight falls forward or in between (now you have an expensive kite)...then you have to fly it back to untangle it!
fantastic video. Here in Brazil we have a brave sea, afraid of losing the drone in the attempt. What is the maximum weight supported this attempt?
6 kilo
What drone is it
Did you catch owt ???
Hey, so what bait where you using? What would you say the weight capacity of the Phantom Pro 3 is? I want to try this in a few weeks.
We were using shrimp.. But the bigger the bait the better I would imagine
how does the release mechanism work?
What is the maximum weight supported this Phanton 3?
hey mate
how do u drop the bait, watch a few of ur videos, u just pull the bail back over?
+Luke Robilliard Hey man, thanks for the views.. Yep to get the weight off, it was a combination of aggressive movements and putting a little strain on the line (at the pole).

@@russellws07 this video is a terrible set up.
The Don thanks for your comment. It probably wasn’t the best set up, but it worked... and I never lost a drone to surf fishing 🤷🏻♂️
I enjoy smacking a bait into the horizon the old fashioned way...
What are the pins on the weight for
Fletcher White I believe it’s to dig into the sand
Subbed u bud

If you want a simple and easy way make a line release hit me up. So simple you will ask yourself why you didn't think of it sooner.
dude I need to know.
All you need to do is put a small metal rod sticking straight out from the landing gear. Secure it with zip ties. Then just put your swivel on the metal rod. Fly your drone out turn it around pull softly on your line or just fly your drone backwards then the line will fall off. Simple and easy. No need for all the extra weight and servos.
awesome man! SO simple yet effective. TY
Enjoy. I was gonna buy all these gadgets but thought why not keep it simple and light weight. Works awesome.
joe B can you plz tell me how.?
Rien à voir !
Good but the last bait surfing using the impact lead was wrong, I would use key ring or big swivel and slide it to the drone metal hook that you have
Mohammed Alawi 😞😞😟😠😡😟😣
Remember there is more that 1 way to skin a cat .each to there own If it's working for then
Which it obviously is ... then why change it , let alone say it's wrong ! Show us how it's done with your own video if your that worried about it
kiwinrg he is just a big mouth and pretty sure he does not even know how to cast a line.
Roll Tide.
162k views and going! Wow
Russell Simmons is that space coast florida??
Yes
how did u release it?
Tiger Gray the reel bail is open and once it’s closed, the line will stop moving with the drone and then it will drop in the water
Good drone...bad fishing..no fish?????
We weren’t really prepared to fish that deep. Should have rigged up bigger bait
Realy...good luck.👍👍👍
Not even Chuck Norris can cast out that far 🤔
jajajajajajajajajaj....muy bueno...jajajajajaja
Why not use a bigger piece of shrimp.
Enrique Mireles bigger bait would definitely be better. But it was our first time trying it
Really good flying crap music though really inappropriate
sam stone thanks.... I agree but it was the only free music I could find that had the same run time as the vid lol
