"Hey fellow drone fishing enthusiasts! I'm based in Hamilton and looking for some sweet spots to try out my drone fishing gear. I'm happy to drive up to 2 half hours to get there i dont have a 4WD. Does anyone have any recommendations for good drone fishing spots in the North Island? Any tips or secrets would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance"]]> Tue, 08 Apr 2025 04:16:15 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=139153&PID=1842550&title=drone-fishing#1842550 <![CDATA[Fishing and filming with Drones : Shimano plays 4000]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138848&PID=1840675&title=shimano-plays-4000#1840675 Author: Fish Addict

If you are wanting to reset the depth setting press 0 SET / ENTER and hold for more than 3 seconds.  The alarm should sound, beep- beep and the depth indicator should return to 0.0]]> Sat, 19 Oct 2024 20:09:44 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138848&PID=1840675&title=shimano-plays-4000#1840675 <![CDATA[Fishing and filming with Drones : Shimano plays 4000]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138848&PID=1840673&title=shimano-plays-4000#1840673 Author: PEW

Hi all have a Shimamo plays 4000 electric reel for drone fishing. What is the best mode settings should I be using and how do I reset back to normal. At the moment It is showing a depth setting which I am trying to delete as it stops the reel from worming. A y help would be appreciated. I only use this reel for.my drone up to a.max. 600 meters.
Tha KS in advance]]> Sat, 19 Oct 2024 17:52:53 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138848&PID=1840673&title=shimano-plays-4000#1840673 <![CDATA[Fishing and filming with Drones : Drone fishing reports]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137821&PID=1834913&title=drone-fishing-reports#1834913 Author: pompey

Tried again this morning but this time I got a snag, first time ever with kite fishing or the drone, lost everything ie: 3xtraces plus sinkers and hook setup but packed a sad then went to work to pay for a replacement. Oh well.
Boring reports of my demise perhaps ]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:13:53 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137821&PID=1834866&title=drone-fishing-reports#1834866 <![CDATA[Fishing and filming with Drones : Drone fishing reports]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137821&PID=1834813&title=drone-fishing-reports#1834813 Author: My Bait

Im loving it, ive got two batteries and getting use to the drone helps with the battery length ie:time
Ive done a doz trips out over the water to 600mtrs on 24kg line and 2x 3oz sinkers and 3 hooks. Avg about 350mtr for me, have another set up on penn 9/0 and 34kg but no level wind and plays havoc with my arthritis! Electric reel is next haha]]> Sun, 17 Sep 2023 11:20:57 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137821&PID=1834813&title=drone-fishing-reports#1834813 <![CDATA[Fishing and filming with Drones : Drone fishing reports]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137821&PID=1834812&title=drone-fishing-reports#1834812 Author: smudge

I bet it is. Are the Condor drones good? A workmate was asking about them but I have no knowledge on drones.]]> Sun, 17 Sep 2023 11:00:28 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137821&PID=1834812&title=drone-fishing-reports#1834812
