Abstract: The chummer apparatus is designed to lower ground or cutup fish chum onto a bottom of a body of water. The chummer apparatus consists of a U-shaped frame that supports a chum tube having the fish chum therein from an upright position and to pivot the same into an emptying position. One of the legs of the frame has a sliding release element thereon that in a lower position arrests the chum in an upright position on the frame but in an upper position releases the chum tube so that it can pivot downwardly into an emptying position.

Abstract: A fishing pole retention system on a boat that includes at least two retention blocks that are spaced from each other on an installation on a boat having bores therein that will receive ends of fishing poles. Each of the retention blocks can arrest or clamp therein an end of the fishing poles. The clamping mechanism involves a screw activated clamping block that moves up or down or involves a sliding mechanism that moves at least two clamping blocks in a sideways movement. Both clamping mechanisms are easily moved to and arrested position or to an open position.
