Thank you to all who commented. To clear up we did NOT fly the drone at night. We flew out baits with the drone an hour before dark and we had a Hobie kayak with us for any baits taken deployed in the dark. That kayak was used once during the filming to re-drop a bait that got hit at around 10 pm but did not hook up ( I suspect it was a 7 giller or bronzie due to the big teeth marks in the bait ). We have the footage of the kayak taking a bait out in the dark for good measure. I appreciate everyone’s responses and apologise for any confusion. We always advocate for following the correct rules and guidelines but we could have done a better job of explaining what we did in the video. Thanks for all your input !!.
