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 pole heating assembly includes a fishing pole that has a handle portion and a rod portion. The fishing pole includes a reel coupled to the handle portion and a plurality of eyelets coupled to the rod portion. The eyelets are spaced apart from each other and extend along the rod portion. A heating apparatus is coupled to the fishing rod and the heating apparatus heats the eyelets.

A strike indicator fishing system comprising of a means of visual notification of a fish strike that is easy to quickly set up using magnet line securing means. The system has a signal flag that is placed in a pre-strike position by connecting it to a fishing line by using clasp magnets to grab and hold the fishing line. The fishing line is also passed through a slip bobber containing an anti-freeze material to prevent icing of the fishing line that would interfere with the fish strike indicator.

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 auger for drilling holes in ice includes a cylindrical tubular bit with a cutting edge having a plurality of teeth on the bottom end, and a center shaft extending vertically through the tubular bit. The center shaft has a pointed tip extending below the teeth and a top end extending above the tubular bit for coupling to a rotary powerhead. The tubular bit may include tangential slots for drainage and ice removal. The pointed tip of the center shaft prevents lateral movement of the auger during initial cutting. The ice auger drills holes faster and easier than conventional augers by cutting a circular groove and removing only the perimeter ice. The ice auger is well-suited for ice fishing and livestock watering applications.
