Patent number: 10345280Abstract: A monitoring apparatus is disclosed herein. In various aspects, the monitoring apparatus includes a probe comprising a sensor to detect a condition within a water body, the sensor produces sensor data indicative of the condition within the water body. The probe includes a sound generator to propagates sound waves within the water body that communicate the sensor data from the probe, in various aspects. The monitoring apparatus includes an interface that is submersible within the water body, and the interface includes a receiver to receive the sound waves from the sound generator, in various aspects. A sleeve forms a portion of the interface and defines a sleeve passage, and a line passes slideably through the sleeve passage and is secured to the probe, in various aspects. The line cooperates with the interface and with the probe to orient the receiver and the sound generator with respect to one another to direct the sound waves from the sound generator to the receiver, in various aspects.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: GRAYDEN OUTDOOR LLCInventor: Trevor J.

Patent number: 10122796Abstract: A monitoring system is disclosed herein. In various aspects, the monitoring system may include a sensor mounted upon a submersible probe to detect sensor data at a depth within a water body, and a mobile device in communication with the sensor to receive the sensor data. The mobile device may be in communication with the Internet cloud to communicate data with the Internet cloud, the data comprising the sensor data and additional sensor data from additional probes geographically disposed about the water body at known GPS locations. An app may be operably engaged with the mobile device and with the Internet cloud to control the communication of data between the mobile device and the Internet cloud, and the app may integrates the data for on the mobile device in real time. This Abstract is presented to meet requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 1.72(b) only. This Abstract is not intended to identify key elements of the apparatus and methods disclosed herein or to delineate the scope thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: GRAYDEN OUTDOOR, LLCInventor: Trevor J.

Patent number: 8776429Abstract: A trolling diver device includes a cylindrical body carried by a guide plate and a fin extending away from the cylindrical body for positioning a lure or bait at a predetermined depth. The diver is lowered and maintained at the predetermined depth while a fishing line connected to a boat pulls the diver through the water. A release arm is pivotally mounted to the guide plate and releasably movable between a locked and unlocked position for orienting the diver device in water so as to minimize drag while raising a hooked fish and the diver device toward the surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Grayden Outdoor, LLCInventor: Randolph K.
