ABSTRACT:
A diving apparatus is placed in serial connection with the end of a fishing line, approximate to the trailing and submerged end of the line as the line is used in trolling. The apparatus includes a diving platform constructed with an aperture and spanner for a catch member in the central portion of the platform. An improved release mechanism is disclosed, including a loop member which loops the spanner and extends pivotally downward from the point of release member attachment to the trailing line, hook and bait. The remainder of the line end attaches to a flared catch member, which attached and flared member is provided with opposed arcuate portions for capturing therebetween said loop member. A bridle connected to the forward and leading end of the platform preserves the diving angles as a function of the line length left from the vessel, independent of bait, weight or buoyancy. Platform release to a non-diving mode can occur by a release force exerted on the diving platform in excess of any adjustable bias provided to the two flared portions of the release member. This release force can be produced two ways, either by strike of a fish or rapid upward force on the pull end of the line. The release mechanism is capable of rigid bracing between depending flukes from the bottom portion of the platform, so that straight in-line towing can result, as required in party-boat fishing. Provision is made for calibrated adjustment to the release force.
