DRONE FISHING - the most productive way to catch fish from a beach

A quick, cheap, and easy way to use a drone for surfcasting.
Drone fishing doesn't have to be expensive. Our drone is a second hand DJI Phantom 3 with a home made release mechanism. For us it is one of the most productive ways to catch fish from sandy beaches.
We travel to a beautiful beach in the Coromandel and show you how we use our drone to catch Snapper and Kahawai.
If you are interested in our simple release system then checkout our other video on how we make it:

Hi Mark...used your app last few weeks fishing off the beach in the westport area and it worked well...keep up the good work ...cheers

[@walkintomydream7208]

Awesome 🤩

Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback my friend.

Hola Mark felicitaciones , gran video .Soy de Argentina y tengo un Phantom 3 pero es el segundo el primero se estrello en el agua a 250 metros en el mar , cuidado que no es tan facil , sugiero hacer muchas pruebas en tierra firme primero Abzo gde

[@Fishingreminder]

Gracias Herman, sí, debes tener cuidado :) También perdí mi primer dron. La mejor forma de hacerlo es liberando tensión. He estado usando esta configuración súper económica durante años y nunca tuve ningún problema: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kISTkpKDasd8rtk

Well after watching all your drone fishing videos, I went out & purchased a Phantom 3 for A$200-00. Needed a contoller which I got for $100-00. I've been testing the drone, including dropping baits at our local football park. Nobody around. All being well will take the plunge within the next week at one of the beaches on the Sunny Coast. Thanks for all your advice & tips. Much appreciated. 😊

[@Fishingreminder]

Thanks mate. That's awesome. Glad that my videos were helpful. I think the phantom 3 is still one of the best value option to get started with drone fishing and outperforms some of the expensive fishing drones. Let us know how you get on. I now mostly use the cloth peg release that I showed in one of my previous videos. It works a charm and is super simple to make.

[@getfurtherfaster]

Good video. Yeah, its all fun and games till you buy a drone and get it over that water! I've flown many baits out and for the best of them and still get nervous every single time. Best from the West, Southern California! Not as easy as you make it seem though. Lets see how long you continue drone fishing. You either keep going and learn from your mistakes or you will stop using a drone and start or continue yaking baits out. Good stuff.

[@Fishingreminder]

Thanks 👍 yeah can be a bit daunting in the beginning. That's why I prefer using a cheaper drone. Currently a second hand phantom 3. Been drone fishing for a bit over 4 years. Lost my first drone after about 1 year due to stupidity 😆 But I learned from that. You always need to have a weak link to your drone so it can break itself free if something jams. Now I don't have to worry about loosing the drone anymore. Drone fishing is not a silver bullet for every situation. But can't beat it on wide open sandy surf beaches.

[@gunnerzane5230]

I surf fish in Surfside Beach Texas at least three times a week. I'm going to try this. Seems your drop is the best I've seen on tubes.. Fish on..

[@Fishingreminder]

Thanks man, let us know how you get on. Drone fishing is a ton of fun. I'm currently tinkering around with another DIY tension release. Will be making another vid once I'm satisfied with it.

Nice work 👍

Thanks mate 🙂

[@MrSerioLok69]

Nice video. I want to see or know how you release the bait when dropping to the water. I’m thinking of buying a drone to fish but don’t know what type of model or capacity I need to carry bait. Any tips I appreciated

[@Fishingreminder]

thanks :) Check out my other video on how I made a simple bait release here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnqcea1ra5mNhLs As for a drone, I like my DJI phantom 3. It has a good load capacity and isn't so expensive anymore second hand. It also has a decent camera. Alternatively you could get a dedicated waterproof fishing drone like the splash drone for example.

happy birthday....

[@Fishingreminder]

Thanks Brother 🤙

[@danielng9007]

Love yr videos, plain and simple. BTW what would yr go to weight you use for drone fishing? I know a lot is to do with the swell.

[@Fishingreminder]

Thanks Daniel. We usually use a 3 or 4 ounce breakout sinker

up Coromandel ways

[@mattbright8635]

Maybe it would be good idea to get an electric reel to retrieve the 200 mtrs of line plus weight of fish to make the time easier.

[@Fishingreminder]

Yeah I have thought about it, but it also kinda takes the fun out of fighting the fish and feeling what's going on at the other end of the line. Perhaps some day when I get too lazy to crank the reel, haha.

[@andrewb7817]

Thank you! What was the bait?

[@Fishingreminder]

I like using pilchards for snapper. But also use a lot of mussels and crabs for bait.

[@user-fi6ql4bf6d]

Hey guys just wanted to know if there are water proof drones for fishing or not

[@Fishingreminder]

yes there are, check out splash drones. Quite expensive though

[@user-fi6ql4bf6d]

Music way too loud with the wind noises in background. I can’t understand what you are saying 😢
