  • Patent number: 5207424
    Abstract: A casting game which tests the skills of fisherman. A platform is provided upon which the contestant may stand and cast a plug. A pool of water surrounds at least a portion of this platform, with the pool divided radially into a plurality of lanes or segments. Located within the segments are numerous targets which take the form of cylinders having open upper ends. The contestant attempts to place the plug or piece of tackle within these cylinders by casting the plug using a standard fishing rod. The various lanes of the pool may be designated for use with a particular type of rod, plug or casting motion. The contestant who hits the most number of targets within a specified time period is the winner. In a preferred embodiment the upwardly open cylinders forming the targets will have associated lights, such that they are illuminated after the plug has entered the target, providing an indication that such particular target has already been struck.
