Angling apparatus (20) includes an immersible sensing device (22, 50, 80, 90, 100), which is configured for attachment to a distal end of a fishing line (26) and contains one or more sensors (32, 34, 70, 73) and a wireless communication interface (62) coupled to transmit signals indicative of an output of the one or more sensors. In one embodiment, an antenna (38) has a first end connected to receive signals from the wireless communication interface, and which is configured to be attached collinearly to the fishing line so that while the sensing device is immersed below a surface of a body of water, a second end of the linear antenna, opposite the first end, protrudes above the surface in order to transmit the signals.

A fishing lure includes a central body and an elastomer cover that covers fully or partially the central body. Eyes are molded in the elastomer cover and a stabilizer is mounted to a rear of the central body. A hair collar and hair are removably mounted between the stabilizer and the elastomer cover.

A flying fish lure for fishing, the lure having a body and at least two flat elongate appendages, shaped as flying-fish wings, attached to the body to approximate the appearance of a flying fish, wherein the body and the appendages are constructed so that the lure floats. The appendages may be separately manually removeable. The lure may be shaped to allow a realistic gliding or flying motion when towed or otherwise pulled. The shape and profile of the body and appendages, particularly where in contact with the water, has been adapted to improve the realistic nature of the movement of the lure through water.
