The shaft can have a plurality of shaft openings.

CASTABLE SONAR DEVICES AND OPERATIONS IN A MARINE ENVIRONMENT

Many different types of systems are utilized and tasks are performed in a marine environment. The present invention provides various configurations of castable devices that can be operated and/or controlled for such systems or tasks. One or more castable devices can be integrated with a transducer assembly, such as a phased array, that emits sonar beams and receives sonar returns from the underwater environment. Processing circuitry may receive the sonar returns, process the sonar returns, generate an image, and transmit the image to a display.

System and method for attracting fish using sensory characteristics
10219495 · 2019-03-05 ·

A fish calling device for attracting predatory fishes by mimicking all sensory characteristics of a prey including appearance, sound and smell is disclosed. The device is configured to spray water into a waterbody around the device in a circular or a semi-circular pattern, thereby mimicking the appearance of a group of bait fishes. The water is sprayed to create the sound of a bait fish trying to escape from the predatory fishes when sprayed onto the waterbody. A scent bag is attached to the sprayer for dispersing/dispensing a smell through the water sprayer thereby mimicking the smell of a bait fish. Thus the device activates three senses of the predatory fishes including sight, hearing and smell for attracting them while fishing/competition.

DEVICE FOR ATTRACTING AQUATIC AND MARINE LIFE
20190037822 · 2019-02-07 ·

A device for attracting aquatic and marine life is disclosed. The device may generate an output in a body of water that simulates the feeding or distress of other aquatic or marine life forms. An example device includes a head coupled to a supply line to provide gas and/or liquid to the head, and an agitator coupled to the head. A plurality of arms of the agitator have a plurality of openings therein to output the gas and/or liquid into a body of water and cause a disturbance. In an example, the agitator sits above, at, or below the surface of a body of water and discharges the gas (or fluid), and/or moves under the influence thereof, to create a disturbance in the body of water, such that desired species of aquatic and marine life are attracted to the disturbance.
