Well, I didn't get a sniff of a bite. Saw very little in the way of breaching fish or activity and the damned goose meant I got an awful night's kip anyway. I don't think I'll be back. Like you say, it looks the absolute nuts but if there's nowt there then there's nowt there.

I apologise if I have posted some of this on here before but I thought you might like to see a little piece of recent aerial history. This is my very first aerial photo of one of the lake I fish. The shot was taken by a camera dangling below a kite. The camera was taking pictures by intervalometer and the direction was adjusted by radio control. To give an Idea of how this was done take a look at this (rather poor quality) you tube clip. I then spent a small fortune on one of the very first drones called a Mikrokopter. This had no GPS or stabilisation. You had to actually fly it by increasing and decreasing the speed of each motor. It was almost impossible to do that AND pay attention to what you were filming. Here is a clip of my very first video taken from my back yard. Eventually I bought a DJI Spark which I still use today although I would love to buy a new Mavic Mini 2. Even so it discovered my current favourite fishing spot which I keep entirely to myself. This last YouTube clip shows just how useful a drone can be.

New Forest 2017 .WW2 Airfield @ Stoney Cross , lots of open space where i learnt to fly it.

Yep. Definitely a lot of fun 👍 It's an amazing piece of kit, camera is impressive and the tech it uses for stability etc is well worth the price. Can't wait to see the reservoir in all its splendor and where the fish are 🤞
