A device for use during fishing configured to be connected to the user's fishing line to attract fish. The device is shaped to be moved through the water and generally include a head and a tail. A channel extends through at least a portion of the device and is sized to receive the fishing line. The device is constructed from multiple sections. The sections are selectively positionable between a closed configuration with the sections connected together to connect the device to the fishing line, and an open configuration with the sections being separated to remove the device from the fishing line.

A fishing line deflection pole preferably includes a pole unit and a retention plate. The pole unit includes a clamp member, at least one pole member and a biasing extension. The clamp member includes a transducer guard and a pole receiver. The pole receiver extends upward from the transducer guard. The pole receiver includes a threaded tap. The pole member includes a threaded end and a threaded tap on an opposing end thereof. The threaded end is sized to be threadably received by the thread tap of the pole receiver. Multiple pole members may be threaded into each other to extend a length of the pole unit. The biasing extension includes a resilient pipe, which is retained on the pole receiver. The retention plate includes a pole opening formed through one end and a contact pad extending from an opposing end thereof.

An automated fish culling system which includes a base station which includes a processor and base station display for displaying information corresponding to a plurality of cull tags, the base station display being communicably coupled to the processor. Each of the plurality of cull tags are configured to be associated with a fish and includes cull tag display for identifying the cull tag. The system further includes a memory for storing data that includes information associated with the fish, the information comprising a fish weight, wherein the processor determines which fish to cull based on at least the fish weight associated with each fish, and indicates which fish to cull via at least the base station display.

A powered jigging device has a support frame, and a rod carrier that pivots in a first working plane while holding a fishing rod. A motor carrier is movably coupled to the support frame in a manner allowing constrained motion of the motor carrier in a parallel second working plane. A motor on the motor carrier drives an eccentric about a rotational axis of the motor. The eccentric is engaged with a mating feature the rod carrier at a position radially spaced from the pivot axis such that said driven revolution of the eccentric normally pivots the rod carrier upward and downward about said pivot axis, while the available constrained motion between the motor carrier and the support frame accommodates freewheeling operation of the motor when a caught fish pulls a front end of the rod carrier into a lowered position via tension in the fishing line.

A wireless fishing monitor includes a monitor module, a control circuit, a power supply unit, a tube, a front cover, and an antenna cover. The control circuit is electrically connected to the monitor module, the control circuit at least includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board, and an antenna. The power supply unit is located on one side of the second circuit board and is electrically connected to the second circuit board. The tube includes a cylinder body with a hollow cylindrical shape, the cylinder body is configured to install the monitor module and the control circuit. The front cover is connected to the front joint of the front opening to cover the monitor module. The antenna cover is fixedly connected to the rear joint on the rear opening of the cylinder body.

The invention relates to a method for adjusting the buoyancy of a fishing bobber. The method includes providing a buoyant member and a stem guide configured to receive the buoyant member, mounting the buoyant member to the stem guide and cutting the buoyant member. The buoyant member is made of a material capable of being severed by a cutting device and having first length, a lower end, and an upper end. The stem guide receives the buoyant member and a fishing line with fishing tackle. The buoyant member is cut such that the buoyant member has a second length shorter than the first length. The buoyant member is cut to a second length such that the buoyancy of the buoyant member when cut to a second length is enough to oppose the tendency of the stem guide and fishing tackle to submerse the buoyant member such that a top surface of the cut buoyant member is adjacent to the surface of the water when the stem guide, buoyant member, fishing line and any fishing tackle are placed in the water.
