The invention is a fishing cooler that has wheels and a handle. The fishing cooler also features a plurality of cup holders, an externally removable and attachable rod holder, and a tackle box that can be attached either internally or externally. The fishing cooler has two internal compartments. The first compartment is for storing bait, and is smaller than the second compartment, which is for storing caught fish. Water can pass between each compartment, and a drain plug enables evacuation of all water inside of the cooler. Integrated on top of the cooler is a measuring line for such uses as measuring caught fish. The handle is hingedly connected at one side of the cooler, and extends when in use to enable the end user to pull the cooler behind he or she. The cooler may also include a drain cup and aerator that can be attached to either of the two drain plug holes. A portable light may be attached to the cooler.

A column analog-to-digital converter having a voltage comparator and a counter is arranged for each a vertical signal line. The voltage comparator compares a pixel signal inputted via the vertical signal line at each row control signal line with a reference voltage, thereby generating a pulse signal having a length in time axis corresponding to the magnitude of a reset component and a signal component. The counter counts a clock to measure the width of the pulse signal until the end of the comparison operation of the comparator, and stores a count at the end of the comparison. A communication and timing controller controls the voltage comparator and the counter so that, in a first process, the voltage comparator performs a comparison operation on a reset component with the counter performing a down-counting operation, and so that, in a second process, the voltage controller performs the comparison operation on a signal component with the counter performing an up-counting operation.

A fishing lure made of soft flexible material. The various shapes of the lure resemble fish, bait, squid, lizards, crayfish, jig trailers, swimbaits, reapers, jerk baits, and other shapes. The tail portion of the fish shaped lure normally has a paddle type tail, which when pulled through the water moves horizontally from side to side, imitating the swimming action of fish. These fish lures are often called swimbaits or paddle tails. The lure has a piece of reflective foil, larger than the size of glitter common to prior art, placed on the surface of the lure or within the lure. The reflective strip normally has a holographic design pattern, such as fish scales or other patterns.

The invention relates to a method for recording multiple programs in a digital broadcasting receiver. The digital broadcasting receive, when receiving a record command for multiple programs in the broadcast signal currently incoming, confirms and stores PID's of each of the programs corresponding to the record command. Thereafter, the digital broadcasting receiver searches the broadcast data for the PID's so as to store broadcast data by matching PID values. According to the present invention, the method for recording multiple programs is advantageous in that a broadcasting receiver may be implemented so as to simultaneously record multiple programs.

A fishing lure includes a transparent lure body having one or more optical windows that operate as lenses for one or more digital cameras mounted within the transparent lure body. The transparent lure body is shaped like a fish, and the optical windows/digital cameras are located at positions that correspond with the eyes of the fish. Annular eye pieces can be mounted over the optical windows to enhance the appearance of the lure. A reflective shroud, patterned to imitate the body surface of a fish, is mounted within the transparent lure body. Light emitting devices within the transparent lure body can be controlled to emit different colored light through the transparent lure body. Detachable bills/fins can be coupled to the transparent lure body to control the movement of the fishing lure through the water.

A floating fishing lure having the capability to adjust the buoyancy of the fish lure with a high degree of precision, such that the fish lure has fore and aft chamber sections connected and held together by an attaching means. Disposed on each fore and aft chamber sections are a plurality of buoyancy windows, one set of which will coincidentally overlie the other set of buoyancy windows as the fore chamber section is rotationally moved in regard to the aft chamber section. By changing the rotational placement of the two sections, valve aperture openings are produced that regulate the air to water ratio within the fish lure, thereby controlling its buoyancy. Additional fish attractors, hooks and illuminators can be added to the fishing lure.

A fishers lure comprising a plug that is weightable with internal weighting, and a trapezoidal shaped blade with an upturned nose and rounded front corners.

The present invention broadly comprises an electronic fishing lure, including a programmable microcontroller, a digital switch to control said microcontroller, a constant current, constant voltage recharge circuit with a lithium-ion rechargeable battery, a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and an audio output device. The LEDs and audio device are connected to the microcontroller and the microcontroller activates the lights and audio device according to a software program stored in the microcontroller.

A fishing lure resists flipping over while in fast rough water being fished at different speeds so the person fishing the lure can control the action of the lure to simulate natural bait when fishing at different depths, including close to the bottom. One embodiment provides a spoon-shaped body having a hook extending from the rear of the body. A shank assembly is slidably disposed through the body. Another embodiment provides a spoon-shaped body having a hook extending from the rear of the body. A shank assembly is slidably disposed through the body with spinning blades attached to the upper and lower ends of the shank assembly.

The present invention described various embodiments of underwater digital video camera and recorder (DVC/R) devices and associated methods for capturing and storing images and video of fish responding to artificial, live or dead bait. The DVC/R device may be in the form of a fishing lure, an in-line device, a float or other configuration. The DVC/R device may continually capture underwater video while the angler is fishing, and continuously store the video in memory (e.g., FIFO protocol) for subsequent review by the angler.

A rotating rattle attachment for a fishing bait rig includes a generally conical hollow body member, a lead line tube axially disposed within the body member, and one or more chambers defined by the body member and the lead line tube. Each chamber contains one or more balls, and the rattle has exterior fins to promote rotation as the rig is drawn through the water. The rattle produces an audible sound that will attract a target fish or will stress a bait fish into secreting hormones attractive to the target fish.

A flexible fishing lure is provided that includes a outer shape having a transverse opening for receiving a plurality of alternatively formed lure fin members allowing a user to change the action of a lure by fin selection without replacing the lure. Multiple internal channels within the lure are adaptively provided for receiving a variety of scent sticks, sound generators, light generators, flavor generating means. Flow internal channels extend from a front opening to gill openings allowing a water flow along an inserted scent or flavor stick member to pass through the lure body and exit proximate fin, nair, belly, or other locations simulating an injured or wounded fish leaking bodily fluids or blood. Other features to simulate wounded features. Replacement fins and weighting constructions allow a user to tailor a weight and action enabling a circling or injured motion during retrieval. The lure includes a flexible holographic-type attractive film and physical shape having a level-maintaining physical shape.

The current invention involves a universal fishing bait fundamentally comprised of a matrix of fibrous collagen made up into any shape or design capable of attracting fish, that is 100% biodegradable and innocuous, that has physico-chemical properties that confer it with the capacity to accommodate liberate and diffuse attractant substances, and whose physico-mechanical properties confer it a soft and flexible texture, as well as making it resistant to breakage. Likewise, the invention outlines a procedure to prepare such a bait, and a precursor paste employed in the preparation, as well as the use of fibrous collagen in the preparation of said universal fishing bait.
