They said, that while they do not have any specific policies pertaining to drones yet, and that the airspace is technically not a no-fly zone, they kindly requested for me to cease flying above the reservoir side, due to the fact that it is 'drinking water' and they wish to avoid any complicating accidents. They did however approve for me to fly on the opposite side of the dam by the water fountain.
That's great....make up for poor casting skills by spending hundreds on a toy that you hope will do the job.Wonder what you will do if it happens to crash and sink beyond you casting range? Do they make a "drone retrieval system" for such occasions?Maybe you can also bring an RC boat, in case the drone goes for a swim?But then you won't be able to bring your fishing gear without using a shopping cart.Sorry, but drone fishing is just a waste of money for a lazy "angler" who has too much time/money on their hands.Don't forget that someone may take exception to your drone usage, claiming you were spying on them, and take your toy down with a well timed/aimed shot. It's already been an issue while ice fishing, so open water would be next.
no fly zone, never mind the ticket, you'll probably be arrested.
Poor casting? Some have a range of over 20 miles, which would allow you to drop bait any where u had the line to reach. Equipped with a camera you can use it to spot fish and drop bait on them. Guys have been doing it for years catching tuna from shore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sdUZqOoAq4As for shooting it down, id advise against it. Shooting things because you dont like them is a good way to end up in jail...Dudes facing 2 felony charges..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHWuC0IWobg
Not facing anything.... Charges dismissed by a judge who ruled his privacy and the privacy of his daughters was invaded... As well as federal courts dismissing lawsuits brought on by the drones owner/operator...
Dont get me wrong, im sure its annoying. But so is getting cut off in traffic. Im not sure the judge would buy the "he annoyed me so i blew his car off the road with my shotgun" excuse lol..
Only in Kentucky lol... Altho the drone owner is appealing it, and will most likely win..Hes lucky, as it is a felony. According to the federal law, 18 USC S 32, anyone who willfully 'sets fire to, damages, destroys, or wrecks an aircraft' will be fined or imprisoned no more than 20 years or both. And the FAA says drones fall into the category of 'aircraft' and threatening anyone operating a drone is also punishable with jail time.Dont get me wrong, im sure its annoying. But so is getting cut off in traffic. Im not sure the judge would buy the "he annoyed me so i blew his car off the road with my shotgun" excuse lol..
I am at a loss of understanding how you compare being cut off in traffic to someone hovering over your teenage daughter with a camera while she sunbathes in the privacy of her backyard but whatever... more power to you.My apologies to the op for going off your topic.
Would you consider a peeping tom peering through your homes windows in the night an annoyance?
how would you fly a drone, drop off the bait and then fish? hands are tied up flying drone until it gets back.can't stand the things personally. i have seen one in my neighborhood last summer. buzzing around peoples back yards.it wasn't in the air too long.burp
