Question! Dropping from a drone

Hi All, Does anybody drone fish ? Using a release mechanism fitted to your drone to release bait in deeper water mainly at low water tidal zone Question is about legal guidance :thinking: any help would be appreciated

AIUI it’s not legal in the UK to drop anything from a drone unless you have CAA authorization first.

So dropping your end tackle out in that right spot is still not available by drone.

That said, I can see there are many U.S. add ons (3d models) for drones to allow them to do just that.
