Tripod Fishing Rod Holder and Protective Storage Tube
20200045951 · 2020-02-13 ·

A protective storage tube convertible to tripod fishing rod holder having a strike indicator arm with a slidable trigger is disclosed that has multiple differing ways to establish a select fish strike tension among potential variable fish strike tensions. The protective storage tube has an elongated tubular body which provides an internal hollowed area capable of receiving a fishing rod therein during storage or transport of the protective storage tube. A slidable ring surrounds an external surface of the tubular body and has several externally facing notches and a lock cavity for an elastic cord. Two notches pivotally house an end of a pair of legs which when extended forms a tripod stand with the tubular body. A third ring notch houses a proximal end of a strike indicator arm. The strike indicator arm has slidable trigger that includes an upwardly extending finger hook for releasable engagement with one of a plurality of fishing line guide eyelets of a fishing rod. The engagement structure achieves in multiple ways an adjustable and select strike tension among potential variable strike tensions that when released provides a variable snap up of the tripod held fishing rod so as to promote increased instances of a fish lure or bait hook cleanly catching a striking fish. Also, an elastic cord can be wrapped set to either a rear or proximal portion of a tripod held fishing rod handle, the rear wrap setting providing a supplemental strike tension.

Ice Fishing Hole Covering Assembly
20200022351 · 2020-01-23 ·

An ice fishing hole covering assembly includes a unitary fishing hole covering with a panel that is rigid and has a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge. The top side is planar and the panel is translucent with a circular shape and a central axis. A reel is rotatably coupled to the bottom side of the panel and has fishing line spooled thereon. The panel has a plurality of apertures therein extending to the top side and outwardly through the bottom side to define finger grips. A strike indicator is attached to the bottom side of the panel and includes a light emitter that is turned on when the fishing line is pulled downwardly from the bottom side. An entirety of the unitary structure is positioned no higher than 0.30 inches above a plane of the top side before and after actuation of the strike indicator.

FLASHER TYPE FISH FINDER
20200018850 · 2020-01-16 · ·

A flasher type fish finder has: a motor with a rotary shaft having play in an axial direction; a display rotating disk fixed to the rotary shaft; a first installation part; and a second installation part fixed to a member not influenced by the play. In the first installation part, a magnet or a ferromagnetic material is on the rotary shaft or the display rotating disk such that the center of gravity is at the rotary shaft center. In the second installation part, a magnet or a ferromagnetic material is provided occurring an attraction force or a repulsive force in the axial direction, for the magnet or the ferromagnetic material of the first installation part. The magnet is in at least one of the first installation part and the second installation part. The surfaces of a first magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole are orthogonal to the rotary shaft.

Illuminating striking fish alert device
10531651 · 2020-01-14 ·

An illuminated striking fish alert device includes a fishing reel affixed to a plate, a power source secured to the plate, and illumination source secured to the power source. Fishing line from the reel is in mechanical communication with motion capturing rods which in turn are in electrical communication with the illumination source and power source. The intensity and rate of illumination of the illumination source is configured to correlate directly with the speed and motion of the fishing line.

Ice fishing indicator device

The present invention relates to an ice fishing indicator device and in particular to an ice fishing indicator device having an improved trigger and or jigging mechanisms. The device has a housing that holds a can for a candle or heat source. A heat shield protects a power box. The jigging mechanism has a motor, a rotating arm, an offset weight and a jigging arm, wherein a wiggle is produced during operation. A reel assembly has a trigger. The trigger can be mechanical via direct contact or contactless. A reel lug can contact a trigger or pass near a contactless sensor. The trigger can cause a flag to deploy via an electrically controlled flag release. The trigger can also cause a communication device to send a signal. The communication device can be held in a communication box on the interior of the housing.

Detection of derelict fishing gear
11904985 · 2024-02-20 · ·

The location of lost or entangled fishing gear, known as derelict gear, is detected. The motion or change of position of a buoy attached to fishing gear is determined via sensors mounted on the buoy and compared to typical buoy motion. If the buoy has moved beyond a threshold value from its original location, an alert is sent to the fisherman. The available sensor data will be used to determine the likelihood of loss or entanglement. This alert facilitates recovery of lost or entangled gear by identifying where immediate retrieval efforts should be focused. The number of traps lost to the ocean that otherwise would continue to trap or entangle marine life may be reduced.
