The Aerokontiki is a fishing drone/long line hauler which is used to fly a baited longline within visual range. The drone immediately returns and lands by itself and the main advantages are accuracy of placement, speed of deployment and reduced risk of equipment loss due to shark bites, backbone snagging etc. It works really well using an electric game reel spooled with braid and a 15 hook nylon leader. The Aerokontiki will also carry camera systems to help you see fish habitats, rocks etc all in real time so you can decide exactly where to place your baits and of course record the days adventure while you're waiting to pull the line in.
I look forward to helping anyone out with their questions (irrespective of what type of drone you have or are thinking about) and to sharing our experience, knowledge and ideas for development. Drone fishing is fun, productive and there’s plenty of applications we can explore including livebaiting & gamefishing just for a start.

Its just a shame it cant carry more sinker weight or it would be usefull on the west coast,8oz is nowhere enough weight most days,but in saying that,on the very few days in a year it would be enough,im sure it will eventually catch fish on the west side. Have you used it out west since we last spoke? |
