A submersible fishing apparatus that contains one or more cavities along the fascia of its body, each said cavity comprising a temporary individual housing for bait or fish-attracting material (including such bait as stink bait), so that a fisherman may easily apply and refresh the bait/attractant between uses, thus allowing a fisherman to easily attract fish with minor effort. The apparatus includes jigs, lures, weights, sinkers, etc.

A berley dispenser, including a container to store berley, a homogenizer within the container to form a homogenized berley from one or more predetermined homogenized berley settings where each setting corresponds to a particular fish type, a discharge port to discharge the homogenized berley, and a controller to control the homogenization of the berley by the selection of the one or more predetermined homogenized berley settings to form the homogenized berley and control the discharge of the homogenized berley. The controller can communicate with a GPS navigator, fish finder or other similar device to coordinate the homogenization of the berley and/or discharge of the homogenized berley.

Disclosed embodiments include a container for dispensing bait in variable amounts and at variable rates. In some embodiments, a method includes changing configurations of two attachable sleeves, where the different configurations result in different overlapping of openings in the attachable sleeves. The different overlapping of openings allows fishermen the flexibility to better control the dispensing of bait and/or chum by varying the size of the openings.

A method and apparatus for a fishing bait line for fishing is presented. The fishing bait line having a main line. The main line has a first end, a second end and a middle portion. A first barrel swivel is coupled to the first end of the main line. A clip swivel is coupled to the second end of the main line. A second barrel swivel is coupled to the middle portion of the main line. One or more glow in the dark beads are coupled substantially near the middle portion of the main line. A glow in the dark chum cylinder coupled to middle portion of the main line. A sponge inserted into the glow in the dark chum cylinder. A hook line threaded through a second end of the glow in the dark chum cylinder and threaded through the sponge. The hook line is coupled to the second barrel swivel. The hook line has a hook for fishing.

A device for remote feeding of animals, particularly marine animals, such as sharks. The device which can be used over and over again, and makes it possible to control the rate at which food is supplied to the sharks, so that the feeder, who is located in a boat and not in the water, can vary the food delivery depending on the number of sharks. The device allows sharks to feed in a natural way, and, importantly, not associate food with humans. The food can be dispensed at an optimal rate so that there is no waste, reducing the amount of food necessary to attract and retain sharks.

A method of harvesting crustaceans that utilizes a trap and buoy system, each trap being equipped with a digital camera and a light flash mechanism and being electrically connected to a buoy which has a wireless broadcast system to forward images received from the camera wirelessly to a further location that is equipped to receive the wirelessly transmitted image and to display the image to a human user. The method begins with laying out traps in the ocean, in a grid having a first grid spacing. Then for each trap, repeatedly lighting the trap with the flash mechanism and forming an image with the digital camera and sending the image to the further location. Then monitoring the images. Finally, in reliance on the images deciding to begin laying out traps in a grid, having a second grid spacing that is tighter than the first grid spacing, around a particular trap.
