Thank you !! Much appreciated. I will get more drone action done down the track without all the instructional stuff.

One of the best tutorials I’ve seen on the drone and awesome catch!

Glad it was helpful! Thank you

That's a really nice Bronzie, great stuff Alan and crew. They have started to show up this side (Cape Town) again, as well as the 7-gill (Cow sharks). There was a severe lack of them with the Orcas destroying the populations.

Great video mate, quick question. My PL3 camera does exactly the same thing “vibrating continuously” when I switch the drone on (swell pro 3+). How does your/ stabilize after you take off ?

Great shore based fishing. Just wondering how you got those baits out if you can't legally fly a recreational drone at night ?

Floaters will not make it sink... but then what? do you need a boat to fetch it when it dropped in the middle of the sea? can it launch from the water? just curious

So im guessing that there is no ap to download like a dji drone ??

Hi Allan, would you recommend registering the drone with swellpro? What does that mean? Do you have the link for it?

I want to get a fishing drone but I don't have much money, do you have any cheap drones you would recommend

Yeah they can be quite expensive. The big issue is standard baits have very small weight capacity. So you can fly out big baits or big sinkers. You could try and modify a basic drone but I suspect it wouldn't work great.

Just a suggestion. Drones are one of those things people commonly buy and never really get out and use so the second hand market can be a good place to look and pick up something decent, in good condition and at a more affordable price.

Heading there tommoro night , are bronzies something deeper or can you cast a surfy and get a chance to get one ?

I find in close you get all the pest species like banjos that destroy your baits, getting the bait out to 3-5 meters deep makes a big difference but still worth a shot.

Can you help me mate, just purchased one today. What are the requirements here in Australia for flying such big drones? Do i need to register with CASA and get a drone pilot license? Im only going to use the drone for recreational activities. Thanks

Yeah its really confusing, I got so many mixed messages from manufacturers of drones, Australian regulators and drone users. I had multiple calls between CASA and Swell pro to try and get a better understanding of it. I wrote this which has the rules they made clear document about half way down fishingmad.com.au/review/swellpro-fisherman-max-fd2-review the final wording from CASA was that an RPL license is not required if the drone weighs less then 25kgs

@@fishingmad thanks for the info Allan. I will check it out!

That Bait dropper looks like it’s designed for 2 baits (2 lines) is that correct?

Hey mate I’m in the Melbourne region just getting into fishing where’s a good spot for a beginner to catch something. Decent

Have a look at the FishingMad website there are over 200 location guides on where to fish and what to target. Right now whiting, snapper, salmon, flathead and squid great options and in areas like Portland you might catch a kingfish. Freshwater cod, yellowbelly and reddies also fishing well.

bit of a change of pace from the usual light soft plastics fishing

Did you eat the fish?

No, you'll see at the end of the vid that the shark was released safely and swam off strong.

I wanna get a drone. Sick of the same land based spots
