A multiple purpose ice fishing bucket lid device provides a seat, storage, and additional functionality in a lid for covering a bucket. The device includes a housing for coupling to a bucket such that the housing covers the bucket. The housing defines an interior space. A pail is couplable to the housing wherein the pail extends into the interior space for holding bait. The pail is alternatively couplable to the housing in an inverted position wherein the pail extends upwardly relative to a top wall of the housing defining an elongated compartment with the interior space and an interior of the bucket for holding an elongated implement such as an ice fishing rod.

An ice fishing trap (10) includes an arm (16), leg (28) and a pivotal plate (30) actuated by a pedal (34) in order to trap a caught fish within a-ice hole so that it cannot escape if it gets off the hook.

A carrier for ice fishing poles that is attached to the back of a snowmobile or ATV. It consists of a frame that has a clamp for fitting the carrier to the vehicle. It also has a center frame member that has a height adjustment. A hinged gate is attached to the center frame member. The inside of this gate is padded. A latching mechanism is on the gate opposite from the hinge. Below the gate is a frame that holds one or more vertical tubes that receive the ends of fishing poles. Thus, with the gate opened, one or more poles can be placed in the tube(s). Then the gate can be closed and secured. The poles are secured and are safe from inadvertent damage. At the fishing place, the user opens the gate to remove one or more poles, secures the gate, and is ready to fish.

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.

Disclosed is an ice hole liner with a handle. The liner is placed in an ice hole during freezing conditions with the outer wall of the liner contacting the inner wall of the ice hole. When the surface of the ice hole freezes the liner is pulled out of the frozen ice hole which clears the hole of ice. The liner also serves as a stable base to which fishing devices and rod holders can be attached so a fish can't pull them down the ice hole.
