But when you get right down to it, how is it any different than using a boat and the latest fish finders to put the bait right in front of the fish? And it's not that far off from using trail cameras and feeders to hunt deer/hogs.BigTerp said:Completely unsportsmanlike in my opinion. I can also see this being quickly deemed as an unlawful way to fish.

kstrayhorn said:Also, this is apples and oranges compared to hunting deer and hogs. Fisheries are much more sensitive and harder to monitor than terrestrial populations. Deer and hogs, however, are species that necessitate control through hunting. They are also closely monitored by regulatory agencies (hence, how bag limits and season dates are set). These things might be regional, but that's how I see it given what I know.
Absolutely, it takes more skill to do vs the drone, but I'm not so sure about the outlawed part. I mean how can you outlaw this when they allow guys to use an airplane to guide these harpoon boats out and put them on bluefin tuna. If you haven't seen/heard about this, they show them doing it on the TV show Wicked Tuna.BigTerp said:But, in my opinion, it takes more know how and skill to use a sonar to target fish. With a drone you just fly around until you spot your target and drop the bait right in on their head. Both give the angler an advantage over the fish, but the drone idea goes too far, in my opinion. Either way I'll almost guarantee it will be outlawed soon enough.
