An illuminated-heated ice fishing system. The system includes a plurality of sidewalls and a top wall in hinged communication and wherein the device is capable of folding up for storage. The system includes a heated lantern to heat and illuminate a spool of the device. The spool is removably affixed to a sidewall of the device and includes a reflective surface directed towards the interior of the device to reflect the light from the lantern. The sidewalls have a bottom portion comprised of a thermoplastic material for contacting the ice surface.

The present invention discloses a remote controlled unmanned fishing boat intended to effect remote control fishing. The remote controlled unmanned fishing boat includes a fish shoal detector for detecting a shoal of fish, a first transmitter for transmitting by specific radio waves the information concerning the shoal of fish detected by the fish shoal detector, a propelling power source for propelling the boat, a controller for steering the boat, and a first receiver for receiving specific radio waves concerning the operations of the fish shoal detector, the propelling power source, and the controller, all for inducing the operations. Further, the boat is provided with a lifting handle for lifting the boat from the water surface, wherein the lifting handle is formed from a cutout portion of the boat.

The fishing pole having integrated weighing system measures the weight of a fish caught by the fishing rod. The fishing pole having integrated weighing system comprises the fishing rod, a strain measurement device, and a control system. The strain measurement device measures the curvature of the fishing rod. The strain measured by the strain measurement device is converted by the control system into an estimated weight of the fish caught by the fishing rod. The fishing pole having integrated weighing system is configured to work with an externally provided remote monitor. The control system sends the strain measurement device data to the remote monitor. The fishing pole having integrated weighing system further comprises a cuff. The cuff is a shell that protects the strain measurement device while allowing for the unhindered motion of the fishing rod.

A fishing information management system has a fishing rod to which a fishing reel with a spool capable of winding a fishing line is attached, and is configured to include an operation/environment information detector that detects information on operation and environment of operation of fishing tools when in use including the fishing reel and the fishing rod, a calculator that calculates the skill levels in operating the fishing tools from information on the operation of the fishing tools, a storage that stores the detection values and the skill levels, and an indicator that displays at least either of the detection values or the skill levels.

The fish catching trap includes a substantially rigid round base having an open net surrounding it. A buoy or float is attached to the net by a line, the buoy being held stationary to an upper handle-like portion of the base using a nail or pin. The pin is attached to a string connected to fish bait placed in the bottom of the trap. When a fish disturbs or moves the bait, the string is pulled and the pin is released, allowing the buoy to quickly move upwards, closing the net surrounding the base and trapping any fish in the area. A second buoy serves as a visual indicator that the trap has been sprung.

A detection device for detecting a fishing device entering water and a method thereof are provided. The detection device includes a waterproof housing, a circuit board, a capacitive sensing module, and a control unit. The capacitive sensing module and the control unit are disposed on the circuit board. The capacitive sensing module is disposed adjacent to an inside wall surface of the waterproof housing and senses a capacitance value. The control unit receives the capacitance value and when the control unit makes a determination, according to the capacitance value, that the fishing device has entered water, the control unit generates a control signal to activate a to-be-controlled device.

A fishing gear harness assembly including at least one flexible, adjustable member to be worn by a user, the at least one flexible, adjustable member having a forward portion and a rearward portion, a battery container connected to and extending rearward from the rearward portion and being configured to enclose a battery, a mount releasably connected to the forward portion and being configured to support at least one marine electronics unit that includes at least one electronic display and a submersible portion, and a power cable extending from the battery container and toward the front portion.
