The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly relates to an intelligent net casting fishing unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle comprisesa fishing net tracking assembly, a rotating assembly, an unmanned aerial vehicle body, two movable gripper assemblies, a fishing line winding and unwinding assembly, a rotating power assembly and an infrared detector assembly, and the fishing net tracking assembly comprises a power tracker, an outer ring penetrating and connecting belt, an outer rope ring, a radial rope, a main rope and a fishingnet body. According to the unmanned aerial vehicle, the problem that in the prior art, automatic net casting cannot be realized, when the fishing net is in water, the position of the fishing net cannot be changed, if the position of a fish school is changed, the net needs to be cast again, the fish school cannot be accurately captured, and the labor intensity of fishermen is high can be solved. The invention further provides an application method for the intelligent net casting fishing unmanned aerial vehicle. The method is simple and convenient to use, operation of operators is facilitated, the operators can rapidly master the operation method, and therefore the labor cost is lowered, and meanwhile the working safety of the operators is guaranteed.
