Abstract: A remote controlled fishing device permitting an angler to fish in places remote from the angler's location or those in which it is difficult to place a fishing line by casting or trolling. The fishing device comprises a miniature sized boat having a fishing rod mounted in the stern. The boat is capable of operating at one of two speeds, or alternatively, at a continuum of speeds. A control system permits control of the direction of movement and the speed of the boat. Also mounted in the stern of the boat is a line cutter positioned so that the fishing line passes through the line cutter. Should the fishing line become snagged, the line cutter may be activated using the control system to sever the line and free the boat. The fishing boat is controlled by a four channel radio controller, held by angler, and a receiver mounted on the boat. The channels control speed of the boat, the direction movement of the boat, the line cutter, and winding of the fishing line onto the reel.
