Real effective way to get your offering way out there as well as to place it perfectly. I fish for sturgeon below the dam in Hagerman. Over the years we have gone so far as to launch boats in order to get our bait where we know the fish are holding. Using a drone for the same thing would be much easier.
The addition of a simple R/C servo to release the bait at the desired moment would allow you to precisely place your offering where the current was just perfect without having to cast.
Also, like downriggers did, drones will allow you to use much lighter tackle and still be able to cast as far as you have the line to. Think of shore fishing and being able to deposit your 1/4 oz offering 200 yds off shore...while using your 6' med light rod.
Being able to drop a lure into a school of boiling wipers from 100 yds away...
Being able to drop a bait in the shallows without spooking them with the boat...
Time to drone up!
