I've still never seen anyone use a deeper in real life. In fact ive never seen one at all.
I also watch a fair whack or crap on youtube and havent seen them used there either.

Couldnt have put it better.

Each to their own and all that as far as I'm concerned.
Use technology if you want, make sure you don't interfere with anyone else's Fishing and enjoy yourself. If people want to judge you because you use a boat or a drone or a deeper that's their problem.....some people want Fishing to be all Mr Crabtree but the world has changed.....

I was firmly in the 'no bait boats' club until I read a couple of posts on here from anglers who through various health reasons couldn't cast as they used to and explained how the boat helps them. Changed my perception a bit.
That said, I'm not for the inconsiderate use of any carp toys. Boats, drones whatever. It's the user that's the problem, not the kit.
As for drones specifically, they're great for arial shots for angling tv shows.

Of course those that have lost the ability to cast should use a boat.
It's those that have never learned to cast or gained any skills in the first place who are prone to be targeted by the 'no bait boats' club

I'd add the 'I'll use it to drop baits right next to those snags that I can't cast to ' type as well. But I'm cynical like that

Wonder how many who would never use and slag off Baitboats happily use a baiting pole to drop next to those same snags...?

Good point. Let's go for the pole users too!

On all four waters I fish – if anyone catches anything involving the use of Deeper, Bait boats or (heaven forbid) Drones it does not count, and it's been that way for over 12 years.

Lol....no doubt
To be fair I use my boat on one water only that is boat dominated and I will be coming off there next year so apart from France trips, (where strangely they are an acceptable accessory) it will be going into hibernation along with the Deeper that attaches to the back of it.
I do want a drone but really for photography etc, and although it will be interesting to get some aerial views of lakes I will not be using it is a fish-finder!

Never been any need too, as one guy found out who used one and landed a very nice Common via putting his rig out via a Bait boat, everybody else on the bank went up to the Bait Boat and congratulated it ,even hand shaking it's Ariel, while totally ignoring him (He never brought it with him again)
