ABSTRACT:
A fishing apparatus comprises a bouyant hull fitted with a propulsion motor and preferably a rudder. Servo-mechanisms controlled by a radio receiver receive radio signals from a remote location and function to control operation of the propulsion motor and the rudder. A mast extends upwardly from the hull and carries at its upper end an attachment means whereby a fishing line can be releasably attached to the apparatus. In use, a fishing line is attached to the apparatus which is then operated by radio control so that it becomes positioned at a location spaced apart from the fisherman. When a fish bites a lure carried by the line, the latter is automatically released by the apparatus allowing the fisherman to play and land the fish without interference with the apparatus. After landing the fish, the fisherman can retrieve the apparatus by radio control for further use.
