Submersible video camera housing adapted for in-line connection with fishing rig
09749507 · 2017-08-29 · ·

A submersible camera housing specifically configured for use with a portable digital video camera includes a generally bullet-shaped main body having a top, a bottom, a forward end and an open rearward end, and a clear cover removably affixed to the rear end forming a watertight seal with the main body. A battery power source is removably disposed within a battery receiving cavity and electrically connected to a light. A video camera cavity is specifically sized and shaped for receiving a popular digital video camera snugly therein. The clear end cover is adapted for threaded engagement with the read end of the main body and includes an O-ring which forms a watertight seal between the cover and the main body thereby preventing water penetration into the housing interior.

Fish Attracting Assembly
20170238518 · 2017-08-24 ·

A fish attracting assembly includes a tree that is positionable between a collapsed position and a deployed position. The tree is may be inserted through an ice fishing hole when the tree is positioned in the collapsed position. The tree is substantially comprised of a buoyant material. Thus, the tree is positioned in the deployed position when the tree is inserted through the ice fishing hole. A camera is coupled to the tree and the camera captures images below the ice fishing hole. A light emitter is coupled to the tree and the light emitter emits light below the ice fishing hole.

FISHING ACCESSORY FOR LURES

A fishing accessory for several different lures for coupling to a fishing device that can be reeled or trolled in a certain direction in order to catch fish. The fishing accessory includes a first lure, in the form of a main fish, and at least two second lures, smaller in size than the first lure and accompanied by flexible transparent elements attached to a rigid head forming part of a supporting structure of the first lure in the shape of a V, facing either towards a surface or bottom of a fishing area.

A fishing caddy system which generally includes a rod holder assembly having at least one rod holder which may be rotatable to different angles to suit the user. There are hooks in the rod holder assembly for receiving the fishing line and thereby preventing the wind from blowing the line around, resulting in faster detection of catches. The rod holder assembly can be mounted to a universal mounting receiver which can be placed on any stationary body. Cup holders and other accessories may also be mounted in proximity to the rod holder assembly using other universal mounting receivers. An accelerometer may also be included which detects vibrations caused by the fishing line against the hook, alerting the user via LEDs or a wireless alert sent to the user's wireless computing device, such as a smart phone.

SHARK DETERRENT DEVICE AND METHOD
20220264870 · 2022-08-25 ·

Sharks and other sea creatures are known to depredate fish from nets and longlines during the human act of fishing. It is known to try to use electrical currents passed through seawater to deter sharks from regions of human activity, particularly around divers. However, the power consumption required by such deterrents is very high, and is prohibitive in small portable devices. The present invention provides a sequence of electrical pulses in water, each electrical pulse in the sequence of electrical pulses spaced from each adjacent pulse by at least 3 seconds. In this way, the inventor found that an effective deterrent from depredation may be created with a much lower energy consumption that previously considered possible.

A multi-purpose, hand-held flashlight has an elongated body with a front body portion having a bottle opener and a front engaging structure. The elongated body also includes a rear body portion with a rear engaging structure that is cooperatively dimensioned to interact with the front engaging structure to releasably couple the front body portion to the rear body portion. The rear body portion includes a second substantially cone shaped extent that includes a recessed cutting element. A lighting element assembly is disposed within the elongated body and includes a lighting element printed circuit board coupled to an emitter assembly, a power source, and a switch. The switch is configured to change the operational mode of the emitter assembly. An attachment mechanism is coupled to the second extent of the rear body portion.

SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR MEASURING THE LENGTH OF A FISH
20170330341 · 2017-11-16 ·

Embodiments of the present invention seek to provide an accurate way to measure the length of a fish. Some embodiments of the present invention propose utilizing a known length of a marker within a camera view or picture to determine the length of the fish also shown in the same camera view or picture. This determination could be performed in real-time or later remotely. Further, the measurement of the length of the fish is reliable because it is not dependent on a zoom value or angle of the camera and there is no required measurement device. Further, the technique is easy to use and can be performed with a camera phone or tablet.
