400 yard cast

[First-light]

So my brother on L.I. is a surf rat. This is his rig. Guy pulls up next to him and has a drone that will drop bait at 400 yards off shore. 

I don't love the idea but wow aint that something.

Sorry about that. Yes Demo opened up a week ago after the last Piper Plover nest was gone. Damn birds. Montauk awesome out there!

My brother uses a drone to fish. But, he’s quadriplegic and it’s the only he can fish. When I first saw this thread, I thought it was him. He’s been crushing porgies on the north shore this past week.

Southold mostly, i think.  I'll ask him for specifics.

400 yard horizontal cast  ??... Cool concept, but it seems like it would pretty difficult to maintain contact with your bait/lure, especially  with all of the currents involved fishing from the beach....

I have successfully fished at  300 feet vertically for halibut in Alaska and cod/haddock/pollock in the Atlantic, but that is a different  scenario...

7 foot tiger sand shark caught right next to my brother today. He just got a huge Ray. Picts tk. Notice the reel these are the guys using the drones.

I agree maybe he was exaggerating a bit but he said it was pretty far out. No matter cool concept.
