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.

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.

A container for dispensing bait in variable amounts and at variable rates. A method can include 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.

Disclosed herein is a multi-sensory fish attractant. The attractant comprises an effervescent component that generates gas by a chemical reaction on contact with water, a glitter component, and further a binding component, such that the effervescent component and glitter components are combined in a mixture and maintained as a single mass until dissolved in water. The disclosed attractant is particularly devoid of any berley, chum, live or prepared bait components. Preferably the attractant is not directly attached to a fishing line or tackle. The glitter component is generally released with the effervescent component when the mixture is dissolved, creating an “attractant zone” to lure fish within proximity of an angler's hooked lure or bait.
