On the drone idea, did consider a r/c helicopter but figured the winds at the pier would be tough to handle!

Drone + camera + feed to smart phone for cobia spotting?

The thing about a R/C drone is it will have limited range and they aren't cheap for the good ones. Plus if you lose control of it and it crashes there goes a nice camera and drone. Plus by the time y'all figure out how to control it Gainer, Peaches and Wilson would have done spotted a fish. Freaking cool idea though.

They can try and spot it all they want but they can't drive a stationary pier to it

If Gainer,Peaches,wilson had a boat they could fish together on in a couple yrs cobia would be extinct.

No offense, but I can't picture Wilson in a tower. Scary thought.
On second thought, leave him on deck---he doesn't need a tower.
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!
