ABSTRACT:
A utility container is formed of a light-in-weight, durable, flexible and resilient elastomeric material and is constructed in open mesh design so that it drains quickly and completely upon being lifted from a body of water and so that it refills quickly when reintroduced into the body of water. Accordingly, its use substantially lowers the amount of effort expended by a fisher in lifting and lowering the container when fishing from a bridge, relative to bucket-type containers. The elastomeric material is inherently buoyant so that the container floats without external flotation devices. In a preferred embodiment, the container has a cylindrical sidewall and a pair of opposed, circular end walls. A leading and a trailing end of the sidewall are disposed in overlapping relation to one another to form a normally closed access opening that is silently opened and closed upon insertion into and withdrawal of a hand into and from the container so that creatures in the container are not startled. The inherent resiliency of the material closes the access opening when the hand is withdrawn. The container has further utility as a temporary cage or carrying case for pets or inanimate objects.
