Lower River Drone Footage

[j-bone]

My buddy and his family came out with us a couple weeks and he brought his drone. He was able to take a few aerial videos of me driving the boat and one of the wives chillin' on our own little sandbar. The aerial view makes the sandbars highly visible, but I can tell you that at water level the ones that are just under water can be very difficult to see, especially during different times of the day. This is only one of the dozens of sandbars that stretch from the Martinez Lake/Fishers Landing area up to Picacho. For this reason, unless you know the river pontoons, jet boats, and Hurricanes are the boats of choice. There are a few 26+ boats, but they are there all the time and know the area well.

These videos are just below the main sandbar known to many as Silicone Island.
