Abstract: A device suitable for ice fishing has a base supported above a hole in the ice. A horizontal shaft is rotatably attached to the base and has a wind driven fan at one end and a crank at the other end. A guide member is pivoted to the end of the crank and guides a fishing line wound on a reel with a bait hook in the water. When the fan rotates the shaft and crank, the guide member moves about its pivot point on the crank. This motion causes the hook to rise and fall and move horizontally in the water to attract a fish. The fishing device also has a spring strip having one end attached to the base and the outer end includes a curved portion and a flag. A stop plate is slidably mounted on the spring strip. The spring strip in the set position has the curved portion positioned in a notch on a plate attached to the base. A reel, upon which the fishing line is wound is rotatably attached to the base adjacent the notch and has a trip pin which rotates with the reel.
