Abstract: A holder for fishing tip-ups, including upper and lower horizontal members defining at least one spaced aligned pair of upper and lower receiving-sites, respectively, the pair of receiving-sites configured to receive a tip-up for carrying purposes. The upper horizontal member is preferably an inwardly-extending annular ledge forming a holder-member top opening through which fishing gear may be inserted for carrying, the ledge defining the upper receiving-sites as complementary to a tip-up and most preferably opening radially inwardly, and the lower horizontal member defining the lower receiving-sites as complementary to a tip-up. In certain embodiments, for each lower receiving-site there are two upper receiving-sites to accommodate tip-ups of different widths, and the lower horizontal member defines the lower receiving-site as complementary at different depths to tip-ups of different widths. The holder member is preferably removably nestable within a fishing bucket member.

Abstract: A multi-purpose fishing bucket having a bucket member and a cover-seat member in which the cover-seat member includes a floatable ring, a detachably-engaged separate middle portion, and a line secured to the ring and to the middle portion such that, detached but tethered, the ring may be thrown for rescue purposes. Preferred embodiments include a line-spooling structure on the middle portion, friction fit of principal parts, and a tip-up holder member preferably removably nested within the bucket member.
