  • Floating fish container with adjustable length means and biased opening means
    Patent number: 4890413
    Abstract: A floating fish holding container has flexible open mesh fabric side, top and bottom walls surrounding a chamber for accommodating fish in water. A top ring having buoyant material attached to the top of the side wall floats the container in a body of water. A bottom ring attached to the bottom of the side wall maintains the cylindrical shape of the container in the water. The top wall has an opening into the chamber that is biased to an open position with elastic cords. A draw string is used to close the opening. A releasable locking device on the draw string holds the top wall in the closed position. When the locking device is released the elastic cords automatically open the opening. A plurality of strings mounted on the side walls are used to adjust the length of the side wall to allow the container to float in shallow water without contacting the bottom or weeds in the body of water.
