Amazing shot DA.    Bet they were surprised to look up and see the droe.  

I always think they hate drones and try to stay well away. Cool shots, full of greens.

Funnily for me they were more angry about the jet skis going past within about 15 feet.

Yes, the fish probably didn't like that either...

Dont get many people fishing there so Im not sure how many fishes make it that far up the river/estuary.

My pleasure DA.    The kid probably wasn't catching any fish so seeing the drone made his day.

I agree here, from experience fisher persons tend to look askance at the drone, but kids love it.
As for the fish - well for carp certainly, according to F1PitPass Brian, they also want to be in the movies.

Nice pic Dave

The little kid on the far right looks bemused….nice shot

I have found people to be good natured about the drones.   I have only once been asked to put the drone away.

Im not convinced any of them caught any fish.

Not sure Carp like brackish water.

Same here Frank,   most people are interested on how it works.   Only once did a women get mad for flying over the sea on a winters day.

What on earth couldshe have said, why can you not fly over the sea on a winters day? Were you spying on Neptunes daughter perhaps?

I might scare the seals apparently at 300-400ft above them.

Seems like you have wimpy seals out there, our seals couldn't give a continental, but dont get too close, they bite and their breath smells of fish.

Many years ago, as a navy diver, we were dropped off at Roman Rock lighthouse in the False bay near Simonstown. We had to seim back to the Diving school - anyway there was an inquisitive seal that kept swimming with us, would shoot past from behing at about 3 meters below, then jump out back over our heads - took your mind off swimming - jet propulsion from the sphincter.

Great shot, with zoom? Looks almost low enough for the drone to be hooked by a mis-cast line

I know,  but she was screaming mad about it so I left.

Just a little bit of a crop.   I dont have the zoom just the pro2.

They may not have.  However, most fishermen will always have a tale to tell about the one that got away.

Sounds like me - you shoulda seen the amazing footage I got but I forgot to switch the camera on  

Cool shot!

I can understand why!

I certainly have one of those stories too.
