An idiot’s guide is a bit harsh, but hopefully it caught your attention – Lets call it the ‘Ding A Lings’ guide to F%^king things up – Drone Fishing

Never read the manual and do not watch How to videos

  • Flying a bait out before drone practice

  • Using a drop loop less than 1.5 meters

  • Attaching baits while in the air or catching drone

  • Taking off from a car bonnet or other platforms other than the ground

  • Maintaining less than 3-4 meters from the fishing rod or other objects

  • Not checking that the line is tangled on the rod tip

  • Not checking the reel drag or reel arm is open before taking off

  • Flying downwards or backwards while the bait is attached

  • Not confirming the bait has released before returning the drone

  • Not always watching the drone

  • Putting the remote controller down on return to land while drone is in the air

  • Not maintaining safe operation and situational awareness

  • Overloading the drone beyond 80% of its capabilities

  • Flying the drone in wind speeds exceeding pilot ability and drone specifications

  • Flying your drone in your front or back yard

  • Flying your drone within 15 meters of trees or buildings

It may seem like common sense, but most accidents happen due to the above list – it is surprising how often F#*k ups occur – its not rocket science – never do any of the above and you will minimise expensive and possibly dangerous accidents.

As a drone pilot you are responsible for any accidents or injuries caused to others – let’s all be safe and have fun.
