Publication number: 20250120376Abstract: A fishing trap retrieval system comprising a strong rope adapted for being connected to a fishing trap at a first end thereof. A strong rope buoy is connected to a second end of the strong rope. A mid portion of the strong rope is maintained in a collapsed form. A load sensitive release mechanism is connected to the strong rope buoy and adapted for being connected to the fishing trap. A weak rope is connected to the release mechanism at a first end thereof and to a surface buoy at a second end thereof. The release mechanism is adapted for transferring a buoyancy load exerted by the strong rope buoy when submerged to the fishing trap in a first mode of operation and for releasing the strong rope buoy when the load acting thereon exceeds a predetermined load threshold in a second mode of operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventor: Joel Sullivan
