I'm using a servo under mine, on channel 8, flip and release. Using on fresh water to lay bait on lily pads in places hard to cast. Using a 330 size drone out of boat. Fun for all.
If you didn't test the release procedure over the beach, you are full on badass. No way I would have sent it out that far without having tried to drop it first. Nice video!!
Captain skipper yesterday I went beach fishing and cought a small red drum in Oxnard I was surprised so at the end I had 10 fish and a drum it was while my sister was at her soccer practice at the beach
Good on your guys for making this. Good video and thank for showing the technical difficulties, a real life demo of what can happen. Drone fishing is really catching on here in Australia. Big hi from Australia from our side of the pond!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH for this video!!!!!!!!!!! I have a dji spark wanted to go fish for it but coulnd't think out the dropsystem bit you nailed it for me Thanks !!!!🤜🤛 grts from belgium
I don’t see the need to go that high if the goal is to get the line out as far as possible. It seams like your loosing distance by going so high. I think to improve battery time it would be best to fly 20 feet and go out as fast as possible then close the drum with 20 yards left it should then release as soon as it locks and return home all in under 2 minutes. It can be a one man operation
@@lezking980 correct but not such an issue with braid and wind is more of a problem usually and flying high just makes it worse. We find out to about 400metres line drag isn't a problem.
You should do a video, on a really good recommended fishing drone (like the $200 one mentioned) perhaps get in touch with some drone companies, do a video on the flight tests and so on, and than maybe hold some kind of contest here for us...could even promote your baits. Ticket into the contest would be to purchase one bag lol
I hope to fish with you someday, you've taught me so much as a beginning fisherman. Going to fish Santo Domingo, DR next month with my Haitian fiance. We are both so excited!
Hey skipper but drone fishing is done pretty often and especially in my country of South Africa. We use drones to drop big 1-2kg baits for massive sharks. Its seems silly to go through all that work of sending your bait out so far to catch small bluefish.
Nice video guys. Word of advice - with long surf rods like those you should use a 'bucket' (waist mounted rod holder) so that you can effectively utilize the flex of the rod, especially when you catch a huge fish.
nah we use drones with 16ft rods to catch sharks off the beach and just dig the butt into the sand as we fight or use it in the holder... a bucket would kill your back hauling in from 500 metres out all day long. Bucket is mostly useful only at the end of the fight when you might have to follow the fish down the beach but we still don't bother.
Love drone fishing videos. Love em a lot. Please give us more!!!! Nothing beats the video view when you release the bait and see all of the other fish around it....
Awesome video guys. This looks like too much fun. I've been looking at getting a SwellPro to fly from my kayak. It's nerve racking flying my Mavic Pro over the water.
It’s better to leave the bail closed, but the drag really loose. Because if the bail accidentally closes your drone goes down, if the line is leaving the spool really fast and tangles on one the the guides your drone goes for a swim (happened to me). Look into getting a Gannet Bait Release system, definitely worth it. And in case you drone goes down (let’s hope it never happens) and you recover it, remove the battery immediately, open the drone, rinse with fresh water then alcohol and leave covered with rise for 5 days.
we always leave bail open... if you're worried just leave the drag loose so if it does "accidentally" flip it makes no difference. The less drag on the line the better when the drone flies out especially with max payload shark baits.
Senko Skipper oh yeah, we are back. It was the most amazing vacation I’ve ever experienced. Just bought a Hobie Pro Angler 14’ kayak. Caught a nice bass within an hour of picking it up. Know any hot spots down On the bay?
@@AndresGarcia-cu6ou I use baits that can weight up to 3-5 pounds plus 10-20 ounces of weight. Can a drone lift 5 lbs and fly 700-800 yards off the beach to drop a bait for a big shark?
@@HeySkipper tbh yes, they drain battery faster. but the biggest problem is that in a windy condition they are way harder to controle. and makes the drone way more instable. so, with alot of wind... dont us them. use them near trees or anything like that.

Great vid....i noticed you were fishing were there were no sun bathers...here along the jersey shore they are not permitted for obvious reasons..they make drones for water might want to check one out
I think it's a good idea a specially if you want to get that extra distance but on a good none windy day tho and with extra line lol nice work getting your line back tho
Wow nice But what is the lifetime of these drones ? Software updates, parts, etc…. Motherboard, operating system. Would like to get one but need to know what I will be expecting
Bad wind can definitely blow that long down rig line into your prop, and if that clip happens to not let go could put the drone in a whole mess of trouble. Just my opinion. I think you can definitely go with a much safer alternative. Great video
the longer the line is the less possibility there is of the line getting tangled in the props. but I also agree there are better alternatives than the clip.
the wind isn't the issue when you have a sinker... it's the sudden stop at the end that sends the line swinging into the props but it's not an issue with a long trace. You are right that is a pain when the release doesn't work but I've done hundreds of drone fishing flights by myself and handled it. The trick is to fly the drone along the beach then bring it in and let it hover or land it while you walk towards it reeling in all the slack... line weight in the current pulling the drone down is a thing in this scenario.

Hi, I watched your video and it looks like you're a guy who understands fishing with a DRONE. Your video is great and I am interested in purchasing a fishing drone now but I can not find anything inexpensive on a budget of up to $ 500. In the video you say you bought DJI but there are other products that do the job, can you recommend me the same products? Thank you
You funny, just put a piece of thin wood. Put a slit in the wood. Set up your bait. Go forward to take your bait out. Turn your drone around and reverse. Or just reverse. But what you got works great
nice just have to have the right target fish. Thats a lot of work to bring in a blue fish. Also kite boarders and para sailers. You will be a good steward for this.
New Master plan. Larger drone that can float that is water proof. Dead center is a attachment point on the drone with a spring action that when pulled down knows the fish is biting. This can be programmed in the drone to then spin up the fans and take off. Otherwise it sits and waits for a fish or from a command from the remote. This can be automated so to make this work you tie your line to the attachment point and your weight and hook and decide how long to cut your fishing line and this should work for the smaller fish in a lake. Tension tells the drone software a fish is biting. think anything you pull and springs or slides back. You have used items like these all your lives so they can be small light and work.
Fish just pulls on an attachment on the drone that the drone knows is displaced or that there is tension. simple. Now the drone knows to start the engine and fly upward and then toward the operator. you could also just send an alert and the pilot does it. Either way you can decide to lift off and land in a different spot.
Pull rod in the center of a drone that is strong enough to lift a man and floating feet. Not the pull rod the drone can lift a man. Maybe like a pontoon boat. I would make the feet go all the way around the outside. The drone will just drift until the rod is pulled and will only pull so far and your line is attached to the pull rod. So the drone will float and drift and bang fly up once you get a strong enough bite then you can use binoculars or a underside camera lens to see if you need to re-bait. We can always recommend a max test line so the line breaks before the lift capacity is reached. The fish is going to try to fight so i think a 4 foot line and weight and a hook should do but really you could go deeper but the drone has to fly higher to get the fish out of the water. The drone has to be able to float good so we will lose a bit of drone power to weight. Sport mode only sends you a bite alert and you have to decide when to lift off and auto mode for when you are lazy.
Can you share some of the settings on the dJI pilot app you used while you were flying the drone over the water? Or if you have a link for that even better. Thanks in advance
no special settings required just do it... we fly 95% of the time over the ocean with standard Phantoms. The drone can't tell if it is over water or land. It doesn't care.
Some public lakes I fish have lots of trees over hanging the water making long casts impossible. Drones may be a solution and put me into spots that aren't heavily fished.
You still have a lot to learn about fishing in general
yea like tie your line to the spool
Prolly don’t need prop guards at the beach. They’re typically to protect from hitting a wall or tree
nice video mate, oh Louie is so funny I love his character. well done another epic video guys.

Seriously? I've always tied my line to my spools, am l missing something that I should know about not tying the line to the spool?
me too
and the other person is dump too because he didn't notice that there is no more line
I think Luis is a special needs kid
You mean there's another way ?
Maybe it was tied but not tied properly🤷♂️. Quite common
Yep!
I never knew it any other way!
If you like drone fishing there’s a remote controlled bait dropper but it cost around $250 it’s really cool it’s called Sea Uculer
Sea Ulcer has their Sky Rigger. It is NOT 250$. It is 160$ It is a great device for Phantom drones.

You've also just spent 1000 dollars for a drone you've used to catch bluefish.
agreed... we target sharks too... our only issue is getting hold of drones that can carry 1kg plus baits. Phantoms top out at 400g payload.

Great vid bra.. I got the same drone and I'm moving back to Maui in April.. Can't wait to go fishing...
How much weight was on those baits. How many ounces sinkers
why do you need to fly at 300+ feet in elevation. wouldn't flying 100 ft or under to set your bait. Wouldn't that be safer.
beginner mistake flying that high
13:08 he said "is that a drone or MY BIRD?" 😂
Remember the bait cannon with the frozen plugs? This is much better!
Daniel Ruegemer I’m pretty sure they pulled that bait canon video off YT bc they loaded the ice backwards.
You dont need prop protection at the beach, you just adding extra weight, you could use heavier sinker instead.

Bro explanation about drone it's awesome bro keep it up
Hey, awesome vid. how your drone is doing after 4 years and all that moisture salt in it? Were you able to keep it clean from corrosion?
You need to determine how much weight it will pick up and carry. Then use it to drop baits for shark fishing
U just need a big hook and bait and send it off,

There are remote controlled line release gizmos. His method seems a little hit and miss to drop the line.

How Mach prise that drone and wich one is dood for fishing lifting 150 grams
Wonder if its strong enough to take out a bunker chunk or even a whole bunker
