An ice fishing notification system includes an ice fishing tip up that may be positioned over a hole on a frozen body of water thereby facilitating the ice fishing tip up to catch fish. The ice fishing tip up has a plank and a flag that is hingedly coupled to the plank. The flag is selectively positioned in a triggered position. A remote unit is operationally coupled to the ice fishing tip up such that the remote unit detects when the ice fishing tip up is triggered by a fish. A base unit is remotely positioned with respect to the remote unit and the base unit is in electrical communication with the remote unit. The base unit generates an audible alert when the remote unit detects the flag is positioned in the triggered position thereby facilitating a fish to be removed from the ice fishing tip up.

A wireless water regimen detecting device includes a fish finder module, a data communication module connected to the fish finder module and a WIFI module connected to the data communication module, which are arranged within a housing. The wireless water regimen detecting device utilizes the wireless communication way of WIFI to make the display terminal of the fish finder module not be limited to the wireless receiving terminal which is especially prepared for it, but can use existing intelligent terminals with a WIFI wireless communication function, such as smart phone, tablet PC, notebook computer or other portable mobile devices, to display. Sweb operating mode of monopoly serial communication port can be utilized, thus the user can carry on related operation on the webpage of the display terminal by visiting the web server to obtain detecting information of the fish finder module. Much convenience is provided to the user.

Described is an apparatus and system for detecting fishing related events and providing notifications to a fisher regarding those events. When a fishing related event, such as a fish on line event occurs, it results in a fishing rod flexing or moving in particular directions. The described implementations include sensors located on or in the fishing rod that provide position data that is utilized to monitor a movement of the fishing rod and determine a type of fishing related event that has occurred.

A fishing apparatus sensing alarm unit having a processor and at least one sensor, the unit mounted to a fishing apparatus and configured to sense apparatus operation and provide an alarm sensing an apparatus operation event. Sensor can be a motion sensor and the unit mounted to a movable component of the apparatus, sensing movement thereof, and alarming upon sensing movement. Apparatus can be an ice fishing tip up to which the unit is mounted to a movable component, such as a flagpole or shaft, thereof. Sensor can be a magnetic sensor and the unit configured for sensing movement of a magnet of the apparatus and alarming upon sensing magnet movement. Magnet is carried by a base, shaft, or cross bar of the tip up or a spool of a fishing reel with the unit configured to sense magnet movement and output a fish strike alarm upon sensing magnet movement.

A fishing information management system includes a fishing reel and an external information communication terminal capable of communicating with the fishing reel, transmits casting information from the fishing reel to the external information communication terminal each time a cast is performed, and is configured to stop the transmission of the casting information on the last cast but one, and to transmit at least part of the casting information on the last cast, when the casting information on the last cast but one is not transmitted or has not been completely transmitted to the external information communication terminal upon the ending of the last cast.

A fishing information management system has a fishing rod to which a fishing reel with a spool capable of winding a fishing line is attached, and is configured to include an operation/environment information detector that detects information on operation and environment of operation of fishing tools when in use including the fishing reel and the fishing rod, a calculator that calculates hit values related to catching fish from information on the operation of the fishing tools, a storage that stores the detection values and the hit values, and an indicator that displays at least either of the detection values or the hit values.

In one embodiment, an intelligent fishing system is provided to enable more accurate fishing in different water types and conditions. The system includes a fishing rod having a reel, the reel comprising at least a portion of a fiber optic cable, and a first device connected at or near a first end of the fiber optic cable, the first device having a controller and at least one camera. The system further includes a fiber optic receiver located at or near the fishing rod, the fiber optic receiver coupled to a second end the fiber optic cable and configured to receive optical signals from the first device through the fiber optic cable. Further, the system includes and a processor operably coupled to the fiber optic receiver and to a display.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are provided for making the harvesting of sea life efficient. For example, real-time or periodic information about the status of the many traps a fisherman may have set is communicated to the fisherman while the traps are still in the water. A fisherman can use this information to determine the best time and path for trap retrieval and reset operations to reduce fuel use and improve the catch efficiency per unit effort.

A fishing information management system includes a fishing reel and an external information communication terminal capable of communicating with the fishing reel, transmits casting information from the fishing reel to the external information communication terminal each time a cast is performed, and is configured to stop the transmission of the casting information on the last cast but one, and to transmit at least part of the casting information on the last cast, when the casting information on the last cast but one is not transmitted or has not been completely transmitted to the external information communication terminal upon the ending of the last cast.

A fishing gear loss management system includes: fishing gear which is provided underwater, and which provides identification information and location information thereof to the outside; a fishing vessel terminal device, which communicates with the fishing gear and provides fishing vessel information; and a fishing gear loss management device, which performs a management function for the fishing gear or fishing vessel within a preset control area, receives fishing gear location information from the fishing gear and the flow speed and direction of tidal currents from the outside, calculates the flow speed and direction information of the fishing gear on the basis of the received fishing gear location information, and estimates whether the fishing gear is lost and the current location of the lost fishing gear on the basis of the calculated flow speed and direction information and the tidal current flow speed and direction information.
