ABSTRACT:
The ice fishing device is useful to place a fishing lure away from an ice fishing hole, under the ice. The device includes a float that provides buoyancy and urges the device upward when the device is placed in a body of water; a drive that has forward and backward modes and propels the device in opposing forward and backward directions; a power source operatively connected with the drive; a control operatively connected with the drive; and a coupler that releasably couples with a lure. The device may further include a slide member that abuts the ice in sliding engagement and slides the device over topographical irregularities of the ice. The device may further include a monitor to provide information regarding such conditions as water depth temperature, position, and fish location. The control may further be connected with the drive by a tether that has multiple electrical conductors, or by a wireless transmitter and receiver system. The tether may also be constructed to float when placed in water. The drive may include a motor and a propeller connected with the motor. The propeller may be one of a wheel, a track, and a screw propeller. The propeller may also include two spaced apart members that abut the bottom surface of the ice in friction engagement. The drive may activate the two members independently or in unison.
