The dangerous time is takeoff when the line is slack.All fun and games until you accidentally get the fishing line wrapped up in the props, and have to use your fishing pole to bring your (soaked) drone back to shore. At least at that point it's probably firmly attached to the fishing line and the pole
Once it's in the air the props are blowing the line down and away from the props.
I tried it last weekend and no probs once I got it airborne.
There were a few frustrating attempts to get it off the ground though beforehand
best way is the Rod liying on the ground and carefully watch during take off, I need to experiment the best way, Probably I will take off first then hook it while its hovering
Tried the hovering way - no go.
I ended up lying my rod down pointed towards the ocean and had the drone about 10 feet away with line lying on the sand.
Also watch your drag cause if you have it too loose the reel will overspin and cause a tangle stopping the drone mid air.
Not such a big prob when just using a hook as it just spins the drone around and drops the bait
Don't try to attach line while the rod is standing up in a holder
Will try that, Probably before fishing will try Parachute toy drop in a field, My son would love that
Good plan
I spent a frustrating and nerve racking hour or so on the beach rerigging and untangling before I worked it out.
Finally dropped the line 200 metres out and no fish!
Guess it depends on the spot and weather, Not sure where you are but i'm in Montreal and it's still cold here like +3, No joy if go for fishing, Hopefully will get better this week
The beach is 500 metres from my house
I just throw my stuff in the old tray back and drive along the beach til I find a likely spot.
Wind is the biggest drawback.

Keep an eye on your reel too
I nearly ran out of line before I turned around to look
