Fitch - The First Autonomous Casting Drone
Fitch (Fishing Gear) ^ | 25 June 2018

Posted on 06/25/2018 3:25:19 PM PDT by zeestephen

Fitch enables you to cast thousands of feet away. With enhanced casting distance you’ll reach more fish in a much wider fishing arena. [Unfortunately, the video seems to be enabled only on Facebook]

KEYWORDS: casting; drones; fishing
Oldsters, like me, may recall that Abercrombie and Fitch used to sell legendary fishing equipment and hunting guns.

According to Google and Wikipedia, it does not appear that this "Fitch" is associated with the old A&F.

Neat idea

Sure is more accurate than strapping on a bottle rocket.

Casting is part of the fun and challenge of fishing. And who’s got 1500 yards of line on their spool?

Anybody using a drone to drop a lure should have their license revoked...and be forced to use a cane pole and bobber for a year.

Probably correct. As best we can tell the current incarnation of A&F trades in soft porn and awful eurodisco.

Back in the 50’s, when I was about 8, we went fishing at a lake in central Florida. My dad was using a fancy fly rod, and he gave me a cane pole and bobber. I copied his technique as best I could (slapping the water with the bobber and worn). I caught a good sized bass. My dad didn’t catch anything. He wasn’t as pleased with my success as I had expected.

Why is it that people fishing off the bank cast out as far as they can, and people in boats cast as close to the bank as they can?

How about an underwater vehicle with a go-pro and a spearfishing rig?

Then you get only the big ones....

Re: “I caught a good sized bass. My dad didn’t catch anything. He wasn’t as pleased with my success as I had expected.”

LOL.

50 years ago, I recall walking out of my college cafeteria with my girlfriend and watching another student, an avid fisherman, casting into the nearby lake.

We sat down on the seawall to watch him, and I noticed a hand line and a cafeteria muffin right next to me. I mushed a big bread ball around a fairly large hook, tossed the line into the lake, and five seconds later a big bass hits the hook, and I yank it out of the water onto the grass in one smooth motion.

The fishing professional went bonkers, but we gave him the bass, so he calmed down.
