About Jaiden MacLean

Above and below the water - that’s it! SEA ULCER began as a blog created by a group of good mates living on the South West coast of Australia. The blog SEA ULCER.TV was our way to show and share the life we were living and the adventures that followed. A lot of time in the water meant we always had reef cuts, but they weren’t too bad when you’re a stoked grom having a hell time! When the surf is pumping or water is clear who cares about a sea ulcer when you can get barrelled or nail a good fish. Sea ulcers were a common consequence of our water lifestyle so we embraced the name. My business partner Byron and I were chatting over a beer one afternoon and asked ourselves a question: “Could you catch a fish with a drone?” Intrigued to find out if it was possible, we designed and built a homemade drone attachment, turning our crazy idea into reality! It was the most exciting moment of our lives and something we will never forget. During the very first attempt of drone fishing we hooked and landed a 22 KG tuna from the beach! It was insane and the vision was unbelivable. I then edited the YouTube video called: Drone Fishing For Tuna. It was revolutionary! We had over 100 million views in the first week. Everybody was stoked on the idea and wanted to experience drone fishing for themselves so from that day our dream was to make this experience accessible to everyone. We started our journey as entrepreneurs, committing to inventing and testing a totally new and unique drone fishing attachment to share with the world. And believe me it wasn’t easy but as always, we had fun during the process and enjoyed the journey. Pouring all our assets in to make it happen only added risk but after 18 months of research, development and testing prototypes, without losing a single drone, our entrepreneurial spirit and hard work had paid off! SKY RIGGER is here! – The world’s first unique drone fishing accessory developed, designed and tested by Sea Ulcer.
