I have often thought

about using a drone to look down at what territory you are on. Sounder helps, but if you want to be right on the edge of a reef on sand for example getting some height to see would definitely help.
Havent really thought about presenting bait or lure to a fish, and you would have to have a good breakaway clip etc to risk your drone. It is possible however, as this shows.

 That's awesome! Can see drones replacing helium balloons in the not so distant future when the technology is perfected.

Drones

DJI are the best drones out there . They are easy to operate with a GPS positioning it will come back to where it was launched if it loses connection to the handheld unit and it has a fly time of about 20 to 25 minutes.....

I use mine a lot and was think of upgrading to beyond vision
