  • Publication number: 20150101235
    Abstract: A method for dead stick fishing. The method includes casting a lure from a fishing rod to a selected spatial location in a body of water or slightly outside of the body of water. In a specific embodiment, the lure comprises at least a processor device coupled to a sound module and coupled to a lighting module. The method also includes allowing the lure settle and be substantially motionless state, e.g., lying with little or slight movement or suspended or floating with little or slight movement from the angler. The method includes transferring a combination of audio information and electromagnetic radiation from the lure to a region of water surrounding a vicinity of the lure to entice a predator fish to strike the lure while the lure is in the substantially motionless state.
