ABSTRACT:
An automatic fishing device for suspension from tree limbs, stumps and other supports or objects and automatically hooking fish. In a preferred embodiment the automatic fishing device is characterized by a frame having an inverted T-shape and an arcuate length of tubing mounted in the frame, with both ends of the tubing terminating in spaced relationship in the base support member of the frame. An operating line is slidably disposed in the tubing and a hook is secured to one end of the operating line and a weight to the other end. A slotted trigger is mounted on the tubing support adjacent to the end of the tubing which receives the hook segment of the operating line. When the hook is baited and disposed beneath the surface of the water, the weight is raised above the surface of the water or in the water in spaced relationship with respect to the hook segment of the operating line and the hook segment is inserted in the trigger slot to set the automatic fishing device. The automatic fishing device is operated when a fish strikes the bait and hook, thus disengaging the hook segment of the operating line from the trigger and causing the weight to fall and drive the hook into the mouth of the fish.
