Has anyone seen @Flysmallie? Maybe he made a trip up to the M River😁.

 I’m in Raleigh, NC so it wasn’t me!!!

I don’t get people that aren’t courteous with this technology. I saw several at the beach earlier this year doing things that are against the law. Probably just somebody that either doesn’t know or doesn’t care. 

I will warn you though to make sure you can’t be identified if you decide to shoot one down. You may feel you are in the right to do that but if they can prove it was you then it’s not going to turn out well for you.

Was headed back to the ramp the other day, the guy with me HAD TO be back by such&such time and we were cutting it close.  The water just ahead on the port side started boiling with Whites in an area as big as Wal-Mart parking lot.   I cut the throttle but my partner gave me that look that says NO!  There's no time!

Freakin' pu$$y !   I took my sweet time loading the boat and pouted all the way back to his car.

That was my next question lol.  I was actually thinking it could be law enforcement?   I don't know but it was bothersome

That would bug the crap out of me if I was fishing and a drone started hovering.  Maybe a large sign that says, You got 10 seconds to get that out of here or out comes Mr. Winchester.

I bet a well placed cast over the props of the drone would also work. Might need to tighten the drag a bit once you get hooked up.

My neighbor came over to show off his cool new drone and almost slammed it into the side of the Tahoe I just bought.  I was ready to unleash my true feelings on him.   A month earlier he almost broke my daughter's ankle with a 100mph RC car.   If his hobbies don't quit stressing me out I'm gonna start sharing some of MY hobbies with HIM !

He'd look funny with a Whopper Plopper attached to his head, and some pellet holes in his nose.

I hate that. I don’t fly mine that much just because I hate the thought of annoying anyone with it, 

But if you ever want any drone pics while you are out on the river let me know!

And just for the record it is a federal crime to shoot down a drone. If they find you they will arrest you. You might be able to fight it and never be charged but they will arrest you.

The guy in KY that shot one down got off the hook

[fishinwrench]

That's BS, it should likewise be a federal crime to slam one into the side of someone's truck.     

Why does "a drone" get any more special FEDERAL protection than a RC  car, plane, or helicopter ?
