Abstract: The Planer Board Fishing Quick Line Roller is a pulley system created to improve planer board and mast line fishing. The pulley represents an entirely new device to improve the process for fishermen to utilize gravity to position the fishing line release in the desired location along a mast line. When the fishing line release is triggered by fish strike or snag, the pulley system effortlessly glides down the line with the release attached, all the way down to the planar board allowing the next pulley and release to be attached and the fishing can continue without the worry of the previous release clip hindering the performance or location of the subsequent release clip. Additionally, the Planer Board Fishing Quick Line Roller utilizes the fisherman's original equipment, such as a Planer Board Release or other commercially available devices using the “shower curtain clip”.

Abstract: A mechanized collector for collecting juvenile lobsters to be raised in a growout system is disclosed. The mechanized collector may be formed from a vessel, a longline support system capable of supporting and suspending a longline having a plurality of juvenile lobster collectors above a deck of the vessel, and a shaker assembly positioned to engage at least one of the plurality of juvenile lobster collectors suspended above the deck of the vessel and attached to the longline. The shaker assembly may be configured to shake the plurality of juvenile lobster collectors individually or collectively together, thereby causing the juvenile lobsters to fall into a collection trough positioned under the collector. The plurality of juvenile lobster collectors may be attached to the longline and formed from at least one generally flat panel that is suspended generally vertically in water above the longline with at least one float.

Abstract: The two reel surf rod (FIG. A) is ideal for an anchor fishing technique that can be used on a dock, pier or jetty. The two reel surf rod (FIG. A) can be used in a normal fashion, if desired, with the removal of the retrieval reel (FIG. A3). The addition of a second reel seat (FIG. A4) to a regular surf rod improves and increases the function of a regular surf rod.

Abstract: A bi-directional underwater icewalker is disclosed. The icewalker comprises a flotation base, a moveable rod connected to the underside of the base, a flotation arm attached to the rod containing a flotation arm skate and culminating in a spike at one end, a plurality of flotation base skates and a line attached to the bottom of the rod at one end and whose other end passes through an eyelet which is attached to the underside of the flotation base. By pulling on the line, the icewalker moves bi-directionally underneath a mass of ice.
