Aguadrone shows you where the fish are, then flies your lure out there

• gizmag.com

Created by San Diego-based inventor Daniel Marion, the AguaDrone can first tell you where the fish are, and then fly your lure to that spot.

The AguaDrone (that's not a typo) is designed to be used with interchangeable bottom-mounted pods.

Users start by first attaching the sonar-enabled Fish Scout Pod, then flying the drone out to different spots where they suspect there might be fish. The pod is activated by exposure to water, and proceeds to scan the depths below down to 120 feet (37 m). As it does so, it uses its own Wi-Fi signal to transmit its findings up to 320 ft (98 m) back to an app on the user's iOS or Android mobile device.

Once fish have been located, the user hits the Return Home button on the included radio remote control unit, and the GPS-equipped drone automatically flies back to them.
