Should be a link to a facebook video post Cor, on my screen it's just click the play button? Not sure why you can't see it on yours?? I'll see if there's a youtube link available.

OK,
That's pretty cool. Few places I can think of where you couldn't get a boat through the vegetation that that would come in handy.

Hi Mike, its a good rig, but could`nt lift me of the ground, Ay Sal that blokes not that good looking, it would be good of off cliffs, places like Quobba, north of Canarvon. cheers Don.

Come to think of it Mike, yes it could lift me, but not with the size fish, I catch, it would stall, cheers Don.

This the place you're thinking of?
Some stunning fishing there, but scary dangerous place, .... even without drones :-[
