Fishing apparatus and method
A fish chute and method for assisting fishermen in retrieving fish that have been hooked, particularly large game fish. Once a fish has been hooked, the fish chute deploys a chute. As the fish tries to swim away, the chute acts as a drag, slowing the fish down and causing it to tire.
Leader line spooling device
The leader line spooling device that allows the length of a leader line to be adjusted while accommodating a variety of fishing line accessories such as ornaments, fishing bobbers, and weights. The apparatus includes a flexible wire, a cap, a spool, an eyelet hook, and a fishing line hole. The flexible wire contains the variety of fishing line accessories while allowing the fishing line accessories to slide and increase the chances of visually attracting nearby fish. The cap connects the flexible wire to the spool. The spool contains extra additional leader line that may or may not be used. The eyelet hook contains and secures leader line that is most likely going to be used. The fishing line hole allows the leader line to be connected to the spool. The apparatus preferably includes a notch that secures the leader line to the eyelet hook.

PLANER BOARD WITH FLAT RETRIEVAL
A planer board with a multi-point connection to a fishing line comprising a side release clip with outer and inner gripping portions engaging different segments of fishing line with different release forces; a forward leverage line guide located at an upper portion of a head end of the planer board at a height above the side release clip, to laterally but not longitudinally secure a segment of fishing line therein; and a rear line guide at the tail end of the planer board for laterally but not longitudinally securing a segment of the fishing line therein. A first segment of fishing line gripped by the side release clip can be snapped out of engagement with the side release clip by a fisherman when a fish strikes, thereby applying a rotational force to the planer board through the forward leverage line guide to roll the planer board flat for a faster retrieval.

Remote-controlled fishing bobber
The invention presented is a remote-controlled fishing bobber system. The fishing bobber is made up of a bottom portion being independently rotational from a top portion. The bottom portion of the bobber has a through channel connecting two ports on opposing sides. One or more protective screens protect the through channel. The system includes a propelling system with a pump, a motor, a control circuitry, a battery, and a remote control. A reverse motor direction causes the independent rotation of the bottom portion from the top portion by engaging a gear system.

Fishing Lure
A fishing lure. The fishing lure includes a flexible body having a first end opposite a second end. A support frame extends through the flexible body between the first end and the second end. The support frame includes a nylon mesh in a spiral configuration to provide additional structural support to the flexible body. The fishing lure is designed to mimic the natural movement of typical bait creatures.

FLY FISHING STRIKE INDICATOR HAVING MULTIPLE TRAPPED AIR ENCLOSURES
The strike indicator includes a float formed from a plurality of sealed air enclosures, each of the plurality of sealed air enclosures including an outer membrane, each of the plurality of sealed air enclosures being entirely offset from the center of the float. The strike indicator also includes a line attachment device configured to secure a fishing line therein, the line attachment device being attached to the float and located in a center of the float between the plurality of sealed air enclosures. The line attachment device includes a threaded bolt having an L-shaped or V-shaped notch formed in its shaft, wherein a fishing line can be inserted in the notch to secure the strike indicator to the fishing line.
