If someone lies one near me when I'm fishing, I will take it as a challenge that they don't think I can hit it...and they might very well lose...in more ways than one!

I considered aiming for it but if it had captured a big bass hitting my plug that would have been cool to see the footage.
I know a drone-owner who uses it to scope out underwater structure and feeding/schooling fish. Pretty cool to see a large boulder sitting 100 yards off the beach you have been fishing for years. Camera sends a live feed back to him. |

Only a matter of time before something bad happens. If drone operators knew how close they could be to loosing everything they own to a lawsuit they might think twice.

So much potential.
Pretty soon center consoles will be equipped with DEW to knock those spot steeling bastages out of the sky.

They fly well out of line of site, then it is fly by video feed on the control console. I watched over a guy's shoulder down in Marco Island last year and it was very good video. Also saw one zipping around in the dark just before the fireworks Saturday. Operator was smart enough to put it down before the show started. Lights were red one side and green the other so you could tell which way was which. First time I saw one in the dark.
Light load of bird shot is likely the best way to go.

last year while ice fishing in Wolfeboro... two guy's kept buzzing my tip ups... they were practicing touch and go's on my gear setting them off... they thought it was pretty funny until..... the eagle swooped down from the tree he was perched in and flew off with it...

Are you sure about that? I carry on my boat (I have a LTC Permit) and I swear if I get buzzed in the boat, I'm gonna empty a clip at it.
BTW, I just checked and you are correct. It is currently considered the same as shooting down an aircraft.
