ABSTRACT:
A temperature responsive fishing device adapted to be secured to a line so that it may be pulled forwardly through water and change its depth in response to a change in the ambient temperature of the surrounding water includes a hydroplane, a weight movably disposed within a housing to change the longitudinal position of the center of gravity of the device substantially when moved, thermal control elements responsive to ambient temperature positioned near the forward and rearward end of said housing to retain the weight at their respective housing ends whenever ambient temperature is within a predetermined range, and means for effecting movement of the weight. When the weight is retained at the forward end of the housing, the hydroplane is tilted forwardly thereby causing oncoming water to react on the hydroplane to force the device to descend. When the weight is retained at the rearward end of the housing, the hydroplane is tilted rearwardly thereby causing oncoming water to react on the hydroplane to force the device to ascend.
