South Australian surf angler · independent
Drone fishing, tested on real Australian beaches.
Makers can market. They can't be the bloke who landed a mulloway at Goolwa on the gear he's reviewing. Every recommendation here comes from a drone I've actually flown and a fish I've actually landed.
Best fishing drones
Honest, hands-on comparisons — Aeroo, SwellPro, Gannet — judged for Australian surf, not spec sheets.
Rods, reels & rigs
The gear that actually survives drone bait drops in the suds. Tested, repurchased, reviewed.
Catch logs
Real sessions, named beaches, the exact rig and drop. The proof behind every recommendation.
Is it legal?
CASA rules and per-state fishing law in plain English, kept current. Know before you fly.
Why trust this site
Out-honest, not out-spec.
There's no shortage of "best fishing drone" pages written by people who've never put one over the back of a wave. This isn't one of them. I fish the Fleurieu and the Coorong with a fishing drone, and I write up what works, what breaks, and what isn't worth your money — including the warranty, support and shipping reality of buying gear in Australia.
When I haven't tested something, I say so. When a spec isn't confirmed, it's marked. That's the whole point: a practitioner you can check, not a brochure.
