Any experiences Drone fishing with the Drone Skyhook?

[Classic flyer]

I’m not a fisherman but I think my drop mechanism for mavic included instructions on adding a short piece of line with a weight on the end to help keep the line below mavic during flight.

I utilize my mechanism for other things. In Michigan, hunting or fishing with drones is prohibited.

As it should be

1) As another poster mentioned, any sizable fish is going to pull your MP under water.

2) You’re going to have no reasonable way to know if anything is testing the hook.

3) Pull the hook straight up would physically pull the hook out of its mouth.

4) Thank for contributing to the laundry list of drone misuse and further subsequent regulations as a result. I honestly can’t believe previous posters haven’t completely outright objected to this moronic idea. And we wonder why we can’t fly in NP’s and protected areas? Funny. I frankly hope you lose your drone.

5) Find something better to do with your time.

Its for carrying the bait out which is attached to a fishing pole- Jesus read the topic before posting your silly rhetoric

Yes the point has been belabered. However, I still stand by what I said and it doesn’t change the scenario by which you’re choosing to use your drone. To each their own. Whether you’re using it to spot fish and drop bait directly on top of them (like I’ve seen on some of the vid you guys posted) or just simply flying line out a couple hundred yards beyond what was previously humanly possible, I still consider it problematic.

Furthermore-As a lifelong fresh and saltwater fly-fishermen I can tell you, once you hook a game fish that far out, it’s going to die while you fight it back in. Now, there are several species of fish, namely the Tarpon, also found in Chesapeake Bay, where that is completely ILLEGAL.

Lastly, to amplify my original point. This is just another example of using drones beyond their intended use. Pushing the limits and boundaries of regulations and people’s patience will only end in worse outcomes and outlooks for drone hobbying. So enjoy your fishing, if that’s what you’d like to call it (please don’t), but don’t come on here complaining about a new law restricting drone access over water when it comes about in relation to this topic. I’ll stick to my own opinion and I’ll duly respect yours, however I will always choose to use my drone for what it is intended for, while respecting the environment and respecting the impression I make on the general public with it. And in terms of fishing, I’ll stick to the old school way that people spend their lives mastering. Have a good day folks.

EXTREMELY WELL SAID...

I think the OP is just doing this on porpoise and is now just fishing for compliments.

Etc etc etc...

I say go fishing with the drone. As long as you have DJI care, you're good to go.

Maybe so but it does just carry bait but the OP made it sound like he was using the drone to HOOK and bring the fish in when he said he didn’t want to “put too much stain on the motors and keep it under a pound”
Maybe he can chime in and clear this up.
I’ve been fishing for 50 years and never known a surf fishermen using a 16 ounce sinker. So I assume he is using it to haul in a 16 ounce fish.

In before the lock down. Hehe

Thank you I have found the forum and the information was very helpful.

I don’t think the idea is to fish with the mavic, rather mavic will allow the fisherman to cast a really long way.

Mavic drops the line once it’s away from the shore and the fisherman reels the line back in with a rod/reel.

Yoda senses the force within this one ! Which color lightsaber shall be it ? Loll dude a few posts back almost marbles lost his loll backwards talking not am I. To lighten the mood ey? Lol
