Floating bobber system for fishing which generates aquatic sounds

Abstract

A floating bobber system for fishing which generates aquatic sounds that includes a floating bobber body having a water-tight hollow body interior and configured to at least partially float when arranged within a body of water. The system further includes an electronic circuit arranged within the body interior of the floating bobber body, the electronic circuit including a controller having reversibly programmable memory capable of replacaebly storing one or more aquatic sounds thereon, the controller being operationally coupled to a speaker for emitting the one or more aquatic sounds, a power source for providing power to the controller, and activation electronics for activating emission of the aquatic sounds from the speaker. The floating bobber body is configured to be coupled to a fishing line, and further configured to be coupled to a fishing bait.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent introduces a system and method for monitoring and communicating fishing data using an electronic circuit and a floating bobber body that generates aquatic sounds when placed in water. The system is designed to be coupled to a fishing line and bait. The technical effects of this invention include the ability to capture and store more data about fishing trips, and to easily communicate this data to others through the use of a digital interface.

Problems solved by technology

This, in part, is a result of the fact that each size, shape, and color scheme of a particular lure strongly affects the success or failure of a fisherman under particular conditions.

However, the currently available technology is not configurable to have an effective appearance and produce acoustical signals to entice surrounding fish.

Additionally, current technology is not capable of being programmed to mimic specific live bait species, as would be advantageous in attracting fish who eat those live bait species.

Moreover, another problem with current bait and lures is the inability to generate other aquatic life sounds and / or to monitor aquatic life and report findings back to the angler.

However, current scales fail to perform a number of valuable actions, including obtaining a GPS position when weighing the fish.

Moreover, current scales fail to indicate when such weighing is complete, thus requiring the angler to guess such while the fishing is moving while coupled to the scale which results in a constant change in the measured weight.

Such a method is slow and introduces substantial possibility for error.

Additionally, similar to the fish scale, a similar problem is lack of GPS knowledge and / or association of the fish length with the location from which it was caught.

However, such a system poses problems during night time, and may require more time to locate the desired tag.

Moreover, current cull systems fail to keep track of any further information other than the fish weight.

Additionally, while each of the above technologies exist separately, there is no current system which enables communication between, and thus combination of all to give the angler an overall picture of what fishing conditions are like, what lures are working best, and what fish are currently onboard.
