I've been shooting sporting clays a lot lately with my son with the 20 gauge. So shooting drones with that would be a hoot!

What if they're airborne when you shoot them?

Generally if you shoot the Ballon full of tannerite at the correct time, they become airborne

The best would be a radio signal jamming device, turn on and simply watch the drone fall from the sky or continue flying clean out of sight.

The pity of it is that this discussion is happening in the "Fly Fishing" section. For me, and quite a few others that I know, part of what drew me to fly fishing were the additional challenges it presented over throwing bait, or even lures on conventional tackle. The fact is that becoming proficient at fly casting requires a bit more work and practice than doing the same with a spinning rod, and the need to be a better waterman, quieter on the approach etc. It's just baffles me how someone who prefers the additional challenge of fly fishing will then want to use a drone to find or spot fish. In Louisiana there's a regulation on the books that says it's illegal to use any form of aerial surveillance to aid in "harvesting fish" but I've never seen or even heard of it being enforced.

Great point! I do however like the drone footage used in some of the fishing videos. Those aerial views create an interesting perspective especially when they’re not scouting for fish.

I saw a video from the Everglades with two guys throwing live mullet and big topwater plugs at big laid up snook. They had a drone and a set of goggles to find the snook then use the goggle footage to “sight cast” the snook that were too far to see from the skiff just using their line of sight. Somewhere amongst all these…

[Turning on old man "get off my lawn font"] Sadly it seems that for many it has become only about "catching" and not about the experience, learning, solving problems or overcoming challenges and they seek out the shortest path to that end. I don't think I would enjoy fishing nearly as much as I do if those elements were removed, in fact the "problem solving" and "figuring things out" is my favorite part [/crotchety old man font]

How do you call'em in?

I don't think a call will bring them in. Just have ta be packin and then wing them when they fly near your spot.

 

[WC53]

Typically the call of a siren laying on the deck will bring them right in. Like a moose in rut

No doubt. Or fake having a big fish on.

Thought of you guys yesterday. Was finishing putting up our Christmas lights with my boy and there was a drone hovering over us for a good while. Saying I was annoyed was an understatement. People need to mind their own fucking business. SMH😡
