ABSTRACT:
A fishing apparatus particularly adapted for ice fishing. Fishing line having a first stop member thereon is wound around a rotatable spool member. A winding mechanism is connected to the spool member for automatically rotating the spool and winding the fishing line therearound. A mounting assembly is connected to the winding mechanism and passes through the spool member for supporting both the winding mechanism and the spool member. The mounting assembly is connected to a platform when the apparatus is used for ice fishing. The platform has an opening therethrough and is designed to fit over a hole in the ice. An adjustable trip mechanism is positioned between the spool member and the platform and is engagable with the first stop member on the fishing line in order to restrain the stop member from moving toward the spool member and to halt the rotating motion imparted to the spool by the winding mechanism while the stop member is restrained. A second stop member is positioned on the fishing line spaced from the first stop member. A holding member is affixed to the platform and extends over the opening therein to receive and hold the second stop member thereon above the opening. A signal flag is also provided which engages the spool and flips up to indicate rotation of the spool when a fish strikes the line.
