Sodwana

I am preparing to fish at Sodwana end of March 2018 (my first shot in shore/beach angling) and would like to request some info from the "old hands". As a paraplegic I am using a drone to take the bait out, so distance would not be a problem
1. Do anyone know if drone fishing are permitted at Sodwana
2. Are there fishing areas recommended (I have a water and reef chart from the Sodwana area)
3. Which species should be targeted from the shore
4. Which rigs and bait are recommended

Looking forward to your advice

I understand that being a paraplegic would pose some challenges, instead of a drone why not try a bait boat to get your baits out.
The species being targeted would depend on your level of mobility and upper body strength, are you going to fish from your wheelchair?
Do you have anyone assisting you, I ask because the disabled ARE allowed to drive a vehicle on the beach with a special DOT permit.
You could fish from the back of a bakkie, I have see a Youtube vid of an oke in Australia fishing for sharks using this method.
Anyway I hope you enjoy your trip, the best way to learn is to experiment and adapt.
Can't help you with shore angling as I'm a ski boat fisherman.
