When I was in Maui, I saw the locals fishing with balloons from the dollar store. They used the balloons as bobbers. The wind from behind them, kept pushing the balloons further and further away from the shore. They were able to bring in some pretty big fish without having to cast very far. They let the wind push the balloon and their bait several 100 yards off shore. :-)
You have to sell a combination with a automatic reel because the range you have with a drone is 100x above what the reel system has been made to be, it means you have to work over 100 times the effort to reel the beast back to the shore, with an electric reel, you bypass this tremendously, electric reels are already made to pull fishes hundreds of feet away. 1 stop solution: drone cast. if bite. press button, collect fish; effortlessly.
Top shelf! I caught a bluegill once with my drone and felt good about myself. I have been dreaming of doing this for a while but you made it happen. Excellent footage as well.
better make sure your detach mechanism works flawlessly from lure to drone otherwise it could be expensive replacing your drone every time you go droning...i mean fishing
Well that is certainly a novel way of catching tuna. This technique would be great for the harpoon boats that fish for bluefin tuna. Some of them use a small airplane to spot the schools of bluefin tuna. Using the drone would be more efficient method of locating the tuna. The side benefit being is that you get great aerial footage of the fight with the fish.
No one else uses a bebop 2 drone for fishing? A really great drone for the price , refurbished. Really strong drone for drone fishing. Greetings from Uruguay
A fun and exciting use for drones as oppose to spying on people in their backyards or through the window of their high rise dwelling. I am loving this.
You are full of it. Clearly you have not seen footage from a drone or you would know you cant spy on people with the wide angle lens they use for landscape photography. A drone would have to be within inches of a person to get a close up.
Oh really? I guess camera technology for drones must be extremely limited/fixed to just ONE type of camera. Wow never knew that thanks for clearing up this misconception. We'd be loss without your infinite knowledge here.
I use a drone for a living and I use zoom lens but most dont so thats why I replied the way I did. If I was going to spy on people I would just walk up with an iPhone and take a shot. why would anyone want to look through your window? Grow up. You are an idiot.
Again my bad. I had no idea you speak on behalf of all drone users and can certify that none of them will outfit their drones (or can) with whatever gear they need to actually spy. And with my idiotic brain I never knew that using a drone to spy wouldn't offer any anonymity and convenience for perverts. I should have also known that each and every drone users are like you. Thank you sir once again for clearing things up.
OMG what am I jealous more of ? 1. the idea 2. the drone 3. that frickin beach caught tuna......! You guys are genius ! Holy crap I busted my toe running to buy the drone......ahhhhh!
Pretty awesome... I used my DJI to catch a monster bass trolling a jitterbug. The video is on my channel (posted on August 19, 2016). It was pretty epic IMHO. Just search "Drone Bass" and it should be the first result. Enjoy!
Super awsome! I thought about this all night after I get up from my sleep next morning a Google search for drone fishing, vola! Idea already taken! Wow super cool! Good job guys
I kite fish 100 days out of the year, same concept but add a camera and pinpoint accuracy. Sick! Wish they made a drone that had an 8hr battery life! nice vid.
@BlacktipH Hey Guys, we’ve finally launched the product. Are you keen to test out the SKY RIGGER? Send me your email and we will chat from there. Cheers
I thought of this brilliant idea years ago fishing for pink salmon on the Frasier river but never thought about using a camera to spot a school of fish.. very brilliant.
Nice one boys, 10 minute drive away from my house. Can ya please drop off a tuna steak? Cheers. I've heard Luke banging on about this all week on Hot Tomato. I can now appreciate what all the hype was about. Again, nice one boys.
+Jaiden Maclean "GENIUS"; WELL DONE GENTLEMEN. plus not to mention the music on the background was fantastic it all seem like if it was a movie I was falling into it great job guys
Wow! Next level fishing!!! I was considering buying a Hobie kayak so I can go farther to catch big fishes (I already have 2 kayaks but not Hobie with the mirage drive..). Now, I'm thinking may be a drone will do the same and even save a lot of labor and trouble on moving the kayak.... . Great video! Great catch!!
Damn genius! That works from the beach to get you out there where the fish are....could use at a pier as well...get outside all the usually fished area. Now, all i need to do is figure out that release mechanism. Thanks for the video!
The Polynesians where into Kite fishing, an Australian in Melbourne developed Modern Kite fishing, see "caught in flight" while wharf fishing he wanted to get land based baits out to the mussel beds in Port Philip bay to chase Snapper when they where not in close to shore. The trouble with a Kite is that its is not as accurate with the bait drop, you can only go in the direction of the wind, and it doesn't have a camera. Drone fishing takes this takes the concept to a new level. I'd like to see someone skip a popper on the surface for kingfish tuna ETC or drop a lure for Billfish
solid work fellas...quick question what was your rod and reel setup and what type of contraption mechanism did you use to have the line released from the Drone
Cheers mate! We used a Shimano Tyrnos reel / Shimano T Curv rod with a drone fishing release mechanism we designed. Currently testing different prototypes now will have a product ready for drone fishing hopefully by September this year. Send me your email and i can keep you updated man
Again if I was totally scared of losing it, I wouldn't do it at all. I have 2 of them and am definitely going to catch some fish. With that said water and electronics don't mix. Flown mine over the ocean numerous times, never fished with it
The best ever drone fishing video of all the times, the other videos I’ve seen are not like this one, in these videos we can even see when the fish catch the bait.
I don't understand why people that do not enjoy this or put negative comments on come on here and say stupid shit!?? Makes 0 sense to me. If it's not your cup of tea move on. No one asked for your negative opinion. This is a great idea, there is sport in this, 100%. I have been fishing for about 27 years now. I have done everything from tiny pond fishing to multiple day long range deep sea fishing. I enjoy it all. And as fishermen, we try every edge to get to get on fish!! This looks to be a very effective idea. And I don't believe a few drones are gonna make tuna go extinct, big nets do the damage, and that is less sport. Anyway guys keep up the good work, and tight lines!!
Dear Juan, I have been fishing for 50 years , when I was kid I used all methods to catch fishes but then I grow up and since 20 years I only fish with the fly and release all the fishes. The video is very nice but saying that "there is sport in this, 100%" is too much .. good luck
Just buy yourself a hugh trawler and along with many others you can out and really rob the seas . But don't let us hear you sobbing when its all gone. Become a better and greater skilled angler and catch more with what you have.
People should understand world is changing so is everything on it... common it's new generation sport , and by the way the were fishing to eat. ..👍at least one know he doesn't go empty hands☺
It's no different than kite fishing. And kite fishing is used everywhere. Charter boat last year, 39 bluefin average weight 80 to 90 pounds on the kite.
I just watched about a dozen of these videos. Your method of delivery/release is by far the best. Most folks just drop it and wait. You're actually targeting. This was an awesome video. Keep up the good work!
The first guy to poach deer with bright lights considered himself a pioneer of innovative techniques, too. "You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should." --Jurassic Park
What a snap, get the drone to fine a school, then drop a bait. Need a deep spool with heaps of line and a level wind. Good for tailor when their right out, like it. Looks like Red Rock.
We designed a release mechanism with a drone attachment. Tried the downrigger clips and drowned a drone. If you guys - hdrjunkie, Darrell Hicks would like to be updated on the progress of our dronefishing release mech send me your emails and ill forward you some info. Cheers - Jaiden
Any chance of you guys posting a DIY video for others to replicate? There's a yacht club channel out by me in NYC, just out of casting distance and I'm almost certain there are bull sharks cruising through there. I'm not experienced enough to try with a yak, but have been trying to figure out a way to get the bait far enough out and I think this is the best solution.
+Stuart Keefer some rubber bands and a key chain ring.. The tackle line is wedged in between the key chain ring. Yanks the line off the ring from force.
+Jaiden Maclean I read in an article you're looking at starting a business doing this ... Just wondering what you know about the law prohibiting it in Australia?
We use a custom drone attachment with fishing release mechanism. Just about ready to launch the product, send me your email and I can keep you up to date and tell you more! Cheers, Jaiden
What will they think of next to do with those drones? Nicely done boys. You can bet that if you don't have a commercial fishing license though, they'll surely create a new law that if you use drones to fish for commercial type game, you have to have that kind of license. I would hate to see it come to that, because I think this was a stroke of genius.
It is not allowed aircraft fishing in Ontario (provincial regulations). But nothing is mentioned about drone fishing. I think, the best would be to contact with local MNR authorities.
Yeah me as well. I think you would probably have to go out and go drone fishing with one of the operators and then you could see it and learn it, it would cost a days fishing but would be worth it for sure.
Please explain how you did this. Was the drone used just as a fish finder? Did the drone actually pull the line out and drop it into the fish? If so, how was the drone disconnected from the line? Explain please.
Rob Cinq-Mars I could be wrong, but from the looks of it, I think they used the drone to search for groupings of tuna. From there I imagine they had the bait attached to the drone in order to drop the lure nearby. The bait must have had some kind of detachable set-up, perhaps a band/clip that released the line once drag was applied via the fish taking the bait. However, I thought I saw line attache dot the drone after the fish took the bait, so this is pure speculation on my behalf.
+Rob Cinq-Mars The drone basically carries a point between the bait and fisher out, thus it can drop the bait in which ever spot they want. You can see how the bait is lowered into the water. Also the connection with the drone to the fishing line is breakable (thus when the tuna starts pulling it snaps). Probably a special knot was used.
This is very interesting way of fishing. I definitely want to try it , but still this makes fishing easier since fisherman can locate the fish with drones. I think there should be limitation applied to this new way of fishing. Anyway, this can be a new category of fishing and thanks for sharing the excellent video.
$180-$400 depending on the quality. That one's just a baby, so unless it's a lazy lardass that's never been challenged, it's probably lean side and not as oily as the big ones. Those things get 10 feet long and 800 lbs. That looks like a 45 lb fish, probably 25-30lbs dressed. But what do tuna steaks go for at your local market? 30lbs of tuna would feed a small village. That's an unusually-thick tuna steak every day for a month.
andrew potts long tails don't get big and are rarely eaten, as they are not good eating compared to yellow or bluefin tuna. Also I'm pretty sure long tails are recreational only species meaning they can't be commercially fished or sold.
Tim Vincent Fishing Oops, didn't see the longtail. I thought that was a baby bluefin. Shows you what I know. I'd make a terrible buyer, out of business in a week.
Actually these longtails in colder water are really good eating. I have eaten all types of tuna and this particular fish was up there with some of the best iv had. When bled right and iced strait away there's nothing wrong with it.
Não entendi... o drone leva a linha para o alto mar e como ele solta a linha quando o peixe é fisgado? A linha se desprende ou tem um controle pra fazer isso?
my question is what knots are you tying? Where the drone doesn't get dragged in while reeling it in? It looked like it broke off while the bait remains in the water?
At first I was thinking of this as cheating but then I got to thinking about it, it's no more cheating than all the big nets out there on the big boats and you are reeling it in yourself. Good job.
Clever idea! Amazing to see Tuna in such shallows though. Fat chance of that happening in Vanuatu... Trevally maybe. Could one perhaps simply rig up some weak rubberbands that would simply snap the line free from the force of the take? Would that work?

When I was in Maui, I saw the locals fishing with balloons from the dollar store. They used the balloons as bobbers. The wind from behind them, kept pushing the balloons further and further away from the shore. They were able to bring in some pretty big fish without having to cast very far. They let the wind push the balloon and their bait several 100 yards off shore. :-)
Thats clever

Perfect, I am from Dunsborough. When I come back to West Oz i will take you dronefishing. What is your email Doug
douglasmilne7@bigpond.com sounds great :-)
+Jaiden Maclean damn that's awesome! Cool man! Keep posting
That's it. I'm selling the boat and buying a drone.
I mean really, if someone can perfect this, what a cost savings, right? How much would a tuna that size go for on the market?
Around 250-1000$
I'm pretty sure a lot of this has to do with the location too.
Yes. What can I do for you?
better make sure your detach mechanism works flawlessly from lure to drone otherwise it could be expensive replacing your drone every time you go droning...i mean fishing

working on it mate! have caught GT's skipping poppers and nearly pulled off catching a black marlin.
Gotta love aussie ingenuity! Its cool how they use a rubber band thats snaps when the tuna hits...

Absolutely bloody epic! Well done!

Very cool. My only issue is the length of the fight if you happened to catch an undersized fish (or oversized if you have a slot limit there).
awesome, takes armchair fishing to a whole new level for me
It's such a cheap, but at the same time a really smart way to fish.
dammm!!! this is awesome......the things we can do with technology

Exactly haha. Drone fishing for tailor soon mate ill let you know how we go
I would love to see like a 15 minute video like that. that was probably top 5 best footage of a fish catch on youtube
Thanks mate! i will make a full length vid when my product is released.
Awesome
The mariner drone must be perfect for fishing!
brings a whole new meaning to fly fishing

Nice catch. I hope you guys enjoyed the fresh fish.
Thanks mate, fish was really nice
ok, this is sooo cool. but how do you release the line so the fish doesn't drag your drone down?

Goodbye smart bomb, this is a new dawn of precision fishing. Lets fish not war.
What will they think of next to do with those drones? Nicely done boys. You can bet that if you don't have a commercial fishing license though, they'll surely create a new law that if you use drones to fish for commercial type game, you have to have that kind of license. I would hate to see it come to that, because I think this was a stroke of genius.
Is it illegal in your area? It is in Canada.
+Super Good Poop Where is that written down? Can you cite the reference?
***** Please do. Too many rules as it is. No need to go "guessing" on the wide world web

how can i buy it and how much
Really Great video. Good job
Thanks Omid!!
OH MY GAWD!!! THIS IS AMAZING! I have a drone that is specially designed for this - Going fishing off fort lauderdale this weekend
Flyers District what drone do you have ?
Great video. How are you dropping the line? It looks like you are using some sort of breakaway mechanism.
This is brilliant! You can trick the boat savvy Tuna every time.
Exactly man works a treat
That was one of the best fishing videos ever , where was that taken?
mark thanks mate! Taken in NSW, Australia!! 🙏🏼
I'd like to see more clearly how you rig it to break away and not take the drone down with a strike.
Yeah me as well. I think you would probably have to go out and go drone fishing with one of the operators and then you could see it and learn it, it would cost a days fishing but would be worth it for sure.
@@paulwilliams8921 there's bait release attachments for drones, it works with electro-magnets I think
How did you attach the fishing line to the drone? This is cool and we want to try it! Albeit not in the ocean, in a lake.

This is really amazing....love it....thanks for the video.
the most beautiful video I have ever seen. i love drones and fishing. good job!
Just out of curiosity what would a fish like that sell for
$180-$400 depending on the quality. That one's just a baby, so unless it's a lazy lardass that's never been challenged, it's probably lean side and not as oily as the big ones. Those things get 10 feet long and 800 lbs. That looks like a 45 lb fish, probably 25-30lbs dressed. But what do tuna steaks go for at your local market? 30lbs of tuna would feed a small village. That's an unusually-thick tuna steak every day for a month.
andrew potts long tails don't get big and are rarely eaten, as they are not good eating compared to yellow or bluefin tuna. Also I'm pretty sure long tails are recreational only species meaning they can't be commercially fished or sold.
Tim Vincent Fishing Oops, didn't see the longtail. I thought that was a baby bluefin. Shows you what I know. I'd make a terrible buyer, out of business in a week.
Actually these longtails in colder water are really good eating. I have eaten all types of tuna and this particular fish was up there with some of the best iv had. When bled right and iced strait away there's nothing wrong with it.
Awesome. No time wasting at all.
can you tell me what knot / tackle you used to have the line released when the fish hit ?
Send me your email and I'll forward you some info
+Jaiden Maclean Thank You. Lenl@lombardo.com

Não entendi... o drone leva a linha para o alto mar e como ele solta a linha quando o peixe é fisgado?
A linha se desprende ou tem um controle pra fazer isso?
Fishtastic
my question is what knots are you tying? Where the drone doesn't get dragged in while reeling it in? It looked like it broke off while the bait remains in the water?
This is totally awesome! What is the music?
+Ion Lite Same I would like to know as well

Beautiful short video ! Just wish you could have explained how the line from pole to drone then the release is accomplished ?
O’Neil thanks mate!! The line is release by our product the SKY RIGGER! A product we developed over a couple years. See more at www.seaulcer.com
Sea Ulcer Hey thanks gentlemen ! I’m looking into it .I want to catch fish like you guys !
At first I was thinking of this as cheating but then I got to thinking about it, it's no more cheating than all the big nets out there on the big boats and you are reeling it in yourself. Good job.
+angela sheppard People used balloons to get bait out before, this is not much different
This is awesome. Just got.my first drone and this is something to look forward to with my next build...
name of music plz?

You know, it used to be funny. Now you just sound like one more sheep :)
Nice video Jaiden !
Man that was awesome! Thumbs up!~John
WOW JUST WOW!!! well done guys that was so effing epic!! seriously have taken fishing to the next level!
Is it legal to remove a tuna that size from the water?
There is a minimum size requirement to not release one but not a max requirement. In short, if you get Babies on the hook you have to release them.
O_O
Umm its not a special fish for being large, all tuna is large. Do you eat tuna? do you eat fish? Fkn hippies.
Awesome! What's the rig? It seems you have bait and weight but without floater. What's the depth you are targeting.
wow just wow
Really cool to watch, thank you!!
Angie Blake - Thank you😊
this isn't cheating. CHeating would be to attach the actual line and bait to the drone and fly the tuna back to the beach. thats cheating.
By far one of the best drone idea I've seen.
I'll take a tuna fish sandwich

Clever idea! Amazing to see Tuna in such shallows though. Fat chance of that happening in Vanuatu... Trevally maybe.
Could one perhaps simply rig up some weak rubberbands that would simply snap the line free from the force of the take?
Would that work?
very risky using elastic bands! Our release mech will launch soon then your set
