Big snapper caught casting six hook sets in low surf with a fishing drone on Uretiti Beach on Northlands East Coast.

Casting a fishing line with a drone is the easiest way ever to catch big snapper from the shore in New Zealand. It’s also a load of fun, you feel and see the bites even though the hooks are 500 metres offshore, and you can feel the fight of the fish as you wind in the line.

Drone fishing is an exciting experience where the angler is always in touch with what’s happening to the baits. Kingfish and big snapper hook-ups are thrilling as the reel drag screams and the rod doubles over in the sand spike.

A single drone can cast two or three rods as setting only takes three minutes, one drone and three batteries is enough to keep a team of fishers busy for a whole morning session.

While any fit person can easily wind the line and fish in, the addition of an electric reel allows those with disabilities a full push button casting and retrieval fishing experience.

Excellent drone fishing catches can be taken year round on the West Coast and Hauraki Gulf, and from October to June in Bream Bay. Further North great winter fishing is available on both coasts. Firm baits like fresh mullet or frozen squid are best.

The selection of the drone and release system is crucial. The drone must be powerful enough to do the job easily and the release clip must release if the line tangles on the reel while setting.

Over the last 12 months Paul Barnes of Paul’s Fishing Systems has tested four drones and found the AEE Condor Drone to be most reliable fishing drone by far. When combined with the Newton inertia release clip it is also the safest. If anything goes wrong with the reel the line releases automatically without pulling the drone down.

A big plus with the AEE Condor is the ease of calibration, (setting the home point the drone returns to); it is a simple 20-second process that even ardent technophobes can quickly master.

The AEE Condor Drone has been thoroughly tested. Paul has over 250 successful six hook drone fishing casts free from mishaps and has caught fish on most sets. Of the 70 AEE Condor Fishing Drones currently in use none have experienced the flyaway issues other fishing drone types report. The ease of calibration, reliability of the GPS and auto return home all contribute to this enviable safety record.

Paul runs regular fishing demonstrations around Bream Bay and occasionally on the West Coast; it’s a great family day out and an opportunity to check out drone fishing with an expert. The public are welcome to attend any of Paul’s demos and if they are lucky they may even get a fish like the 4.5kg snapper Rose and Geoff Hewinson from Hikurangi took home from one of Paul’s Uretiti Beach demos early in October.
