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.

That is awesome. Good for him. What beaches I'll keep an eye out for him.

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.
