ABSTRACT:
A novel fishing game comprises a rectangular supporting structure having a plurality of target holes along one part of the upper surface thereof and having a supporting base portion with slots therein for movement of a slidable supporting member for fishing poles. The support is arranged to permit movement laterally and longitudinally in the slots to position the fishing pole over the target holes. The support permits angular movement of the fishing poles and includes a rotary spool for raising and lowering a fishing line. The fishing line carries a magnetic member which may be lowered through any of the target holes to pick up magnetized, i.e. iron or steel, fish. The fish which are the targets of the game and the expedient of scoring the same are positioned in cylindrical receptacles located under each of the target holes. The receptacles are provided with electrical conductors around their upper ends which are engageable by the magnetic member when moved into position to pick up individual fish in such receptacles. Contact of the magnetic member with the conductors at the top of each receptacle completes an electric circuit to energize a signal light for indicating progress of the game. A game is played against time and the contestant who scores the most in the selected time period wins the game.
