A fisherman's float including a hollow longitudinal body with a bulb at each end. Each of the bulbs is hollow. The two bulbs are connected by a tube which passes through each bulb. The first bulb contains two threaded halves which can be un-threaded from one another. The fishing line passes through the bulb, the longitudinal body and the two part float and then on to a second float (if desired), a sinker (if desired) and a hook and/or bait. The two halves of the two part bulb screw together so that a light source, electrically or chemically driven, can be inserted and held in the water tight float. Each one of the bulbs floats. The longitudinal body is preferably eight to twelve inches long and serves to prevent tangles as well as to increase the visibility of the float and easy detection of fish activity at the bait.

A fishing bobber may include an elongate shaft having a first end, an opposing second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, a line retainer disposed at the first end, a counterweight float disposed proximate the second end, and an axially movable primary float disposed on the elongate shaft between the first end and the second end.

A watch device includes a processor, a display and a memory. The memory includes instructions for establishing a network connection between the watch device and an electronic GPS mapping computer of a watercraft for transmitting, receiving or displaying data.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an apparatus for a float with fishing conditions detection capabilities. In one instance, the float may include a float case, one or more sensors disposed inside the float case, and a processing block coupled with the sensors and disposed inside or outside the float case. The processing block may be configured to detect one or more conditions of fishing. To detect the conditions of fishing, the processing block may be configured to receive and process sensor readings from the sensors, and determine the conditions of fishing, based on a result of the processing of the sensor readings. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Visible fish strike indicators may include a buoyant main housing having a horizontal center axis and a center of gravity beneath the horizontal center axis, whereby the main housing is configured to normally float in an upright horizontal position on a water body. A light-transmissible light housing having a light housing interior may be detachably supported by the main housing. An indicator illumination assembly may be supported by the main housing. The indicator illumination assembly may include at least one tilt switch configured to sense a vertical positioning event in which the main housing deploys from the upright horizontal position to a vertical position. A power source may interface with the tilt switch. A strike indicator light may interface with the tilt switch and the power source. The strike indicator light may be configured to emit a strike light pattern in the light housing. The tilt switch may be configured to energize the strike indicator light to emit the strike light pattern upon sensing the vertical positioning event.
