An aerial drone fitted with a
waterproof camera could be used by fisherman to position their bait and catch
more fish.
Instead of the traditional method
of casting off from a river bank or sea shore and hoping for the best, the
specially-adapted drone allows anglers to fly their line, bait and weight to a
prime deep-water spot.

However, some fishing purists
have lamented that the technology ruins the skill and enjoyment of fishing.
A team in the
Netherlands has designed a drone to help fisherman (shown). It has a winch that
lowers an underwater camera and the bait. The drone is flown out over the water
before the bait is lowered. It lets fisherman avoid getting their line stuck in
plants
The product is the
brainchild of Roger Borre and his five-strong team at aerial technology company
Dronexpert based in Bentelo, Netherlands.
A special waterproof
camera beams back live footage of the murky depths so the angler can see if
there are any fish at a location.
The user then detaches
the line and flies the drone back to the bank safe in the knowledge their
tackle is in the right spot.
