A friend of mine fishes with one of these in New Zealand.

The cameras attached to them are a big part of the cost, if you are just using one to carry bait out to a decent distance you might get a cheaper one with no camera, and fix a bait carrier where the camera normally goes. The parks rules might be different if you launch from the waters edge and only fly over the water, since you aren't really flying it over the beach.

If they become an issue I would invest in a jammer.

I would have got it out regardless, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

So is flying over private properties but that doesn't stop some drone users. Punchbowl and jam as bait makes no sense.

I extended my back yard fences to 3 meters years ago as for my wife and i like walking around in our birthday suits during the hotter months.There should be some sort of privacy laws in place,but an exception if it has anything to do with police matters,then i would just smile,when i re watch myself on u tube 2 hours latter.
