Fishing for Drones...
apparently a new sport has emerged on the left coast ;-)
This Fisherman Seemed to Get Fed Up With a Drone Buzzing Around a Pier ? So Watch How He Decided to Handle It | Video | TheBlaze.com
A fisherman at Pacific Beach in San Diego appeared to take issue with a drone filming him and others casting their lines off a pier last week.
So he let his line fly upward toward the drone owned the YouTube user Tice Ledbetter. The fisherman’s hook snagged the drone, but he didn’t pull it down.When Ledbetter recovered the vehicle, he had to untangle some of the fishing line wound around one of the rotors.
Alas, this one got away!
How would you cook a drone if you caught one?

yep, he nailed that cast. Credit to Mr. Ledbetter for the cool soundtrack. I have crucible you can use to simmer a drone in, if you catch one.

I'm guessing a drone needs to be marinated in carburetor cleaner to tenderize it first.
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
