Interesting thought. You could do the same thing when anchored out
or drifting. Fishing live bait, it is easy to imagine the whole rig
getting hit by an osprey or seagull.



Harpooners in this area often hired spotter aircraft to direct them to
pods of tuna. I don't know if this is still legal or done anymore.

Seems like a a Quadcopter operating from the boat could do the job.
