Drone Fishing
Drone fishing has exploded in popularity along Perth's beaches. Compleat Angler Nedlands stocks fishing drones from Poseidon and IDFTech, plus drone rigs from Compleat Angler Nedlands, Maph, and Vexed.
Place baits far beyond casting distance — reaching deep gutters and drop-offs where big fish patrol. Effective for mulloway, sharks, tailor, and tuna from metro beaches.

Is drone fishing legal in WA?
Yes — comply with CASA regulations (registered, visual line of sight, below 120m) and WA fishing regulations (bag limits, size limits still apply). Check current rules before flying.
What drone do I need?
A purpose-built fishing drone with bait release mechanism, water resistance, and 500g-1.5kg lift capacity. Poseidon and IDFTech are purpose-built for fishing.
How far can you drop baits?
500m-1km+ depending on battery and conditions. Puts you into deep water unreachable from beach — channels, drop-offs, and reef edges where big fish feed.
What gear alongside the drone?
Heavy surf rod (12-15ft), large spinning reel (8000-14000) with 50-80lb braid, and drone rigs with quick-release clips. We stock complete setups.
