[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 A fishing device for aquaculture ponds is provided, comprising a fishing bucket 1, which is placed upside down. A bucket lid 2 is snapped onto the outer bottom of the fishing bucket 1. A fish inlet mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom end of the bucket lid 2 and is connected to the fishing bucket 1. A floating mechanism 4 is provided on the outer side of the fishing bucket 1. A feed baffle 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fishing bucket 1, and fish food is placed on the feed baffle 5.

[0015] With the above setup, the entire device is placed in the aquaculture pond. The buoyancy of the floating mechanism 4 is adjusted to suspend the entire fishing bucket 1 in the water, ensuring its "inverted" opening (the end containing the lid 2 and the fish inlet mechanism 3) faces the bottom of the pond. A suitable amount of fish food is placed on the feed baffle 5 as bait. The scent of the fish food diffuses in the water, attracting fish from the aquaculture pond to feed. To reach the bait, the fish enter the fishing bucket 1 through the fish inlet mechanism 3 on the lid 2 from the bottom. After entering the inverted bucket through the fish inlet mechanism 3, the fish swim upwards (towards the top of the bucket, i.e., the original bottom) to find the food on the feed baffle 5. After a period of time (e.g., overnight or several hours), once enough fish have entered the bucket, the operator can lift the entire device by boat or directly from the shore. Because the lid 2 is snapped into the main body of the fishing bucket 1, the lid 2 can be easily opened after the device is lifted out of the water, allowing the caught fish to be poured out and the harvesting completed. This is a passive fishing method, a "luring the prey into the trap" approach, where the fish voluntarily enter, avoiding the fright and stress caused by forced enclosure. The absence of intense friction and squeezing from nets greatly minimizes damage to the fish's surface (such as scales), preserving their commercial value, making it particularly suitable for catching high-value live aquatic products.

[0016] Reference Figure 1-4 The fish inlet mechanism 3 includes a fish inlet tube 31. The bottom end of the bucket cover 2 is connected to the fish inlet tube 31. An iron plate 32 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fish inlet tube 31. The iron plate 32 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the bucket cover 2 by bolts. The bucket cover 2 has a through hole 33. The fish inlet tube 31 is connected to the fishing bucket 1 through the through hole 33. Through the above structural design, the fish food odor on the feed baffle 5 continuously diffuses outward through the fish inlet tube 31 and the through-hole 33 on the lid 2. Attracted by the odor, the fish in the aquaculture pond swim to the bottom of the device and discover the entrance to the fish inlet tube 31. In search of food, the fish naturally swim inward along the fish inlet tube 31. The inlet of the fish inlet tube 31 is designed to allow only a single or small number of fish to pass through, guiding them into an orderly manner. The internal passage of the fish inlet tube 31 is relatively wide and unobstructed, allowing fish to easily swim in from the outside. The fish swim upward from the bottom entrance of the fish inlet tube 31, passing through the through-hole 33 on the lid 2, and officially enter the main internal space of the inverted fishing bucket 1. Once inside, the fish's target is the food above, so it continues to swim towards the top of the bucket (i.e., the original bottom), thus completely leaving the fish inlet passage area. When the fish finishes its food or is disturbed and wants to leave, it instinctively swims towards the entrance with light (i.e., the direction it came from). However, when a fish attempts to return downstream from the spacious main space of the fishing barrel 1 through the through-hole 33, its perspective and swimming direction face a critical obstacle: viewed from inside the barrel, the through-hole 33 is not an open exit, but rather connects to a downward-extending, relatively narrow fish inlet tube 31. Fish have difficulty accurately finding and entering the tube through that hole. This design creates a "shadow zone" or "visual obstacle" inside, making it easier for fish to swim along the barrel wall rather than precisely finding and aligning with the hole leading to the narrow tube. Startled fish will typically swim rapidly in circles along the obstacle (barrel wall), further reducing the probability of them accidentally finding the only exit. Therefore, the core function of the fish inlet mechanism 3 is to create a one-way valve, utilizing the foraging behavior and startled behavior patterns of fish to allow them to enter easily, but making it extremely difficult for them to escape on their own.

[0017] Reference Figure 1-4 The floating mechanism 4 includes a float 41. The float 41 is fitted on the outside of the fishing barrel 1. Two fasteners 42 are fixedly connected to the top of the float 41. Both fasteners 42 are detachably connected to the outside of the fishing barrel 1 by bolts. With the above-described structure, the float 41 is the core component providing buoyancy. It is typically made of foam plastic or other low-density, waterproof materials, generating sufficient buoyancy to support the entire fishing device (including the fishing bucket 1, bucket lid 2, fish inlet mechanism 3, and the weight of any fish and water that may enter) while it remains suspended in the water. The float 41 is fitted onto the outside of the fishing bucket 1 and is rigidly and detachably connected via two clips 42 and bolts. This connection ensures that the relative position of the float 41 and the fishing bucket 1 is fixed and will not slide or rotate arbitrarily. By adjusting the height of the float 41 on the outside of the fishing bucket 1 (i.e., moving the float 41 up and down along the bucket and then fixing it with the clips 42), the draft of the device can be changed, thereby controlling the height of the fish inlet from the bottom of the pond to accommodate different water depths or to catch fish at different water layers.

[0018] Reference Figure 1-4 Among them, a lifting wire 6 is hinged to the outside of the fishing bucket 1, and a plastic handle 7 is sleeved on the outside of the lifting wire 6. With the above-described structure, the lifting wire 6 is hinged to the outside of the fishing bucket 1, providing a sturdy and dedicated force point for net hauling. It directly transmits the lifting force to the main structure of the fishing bucket 1, avoiding pressure or damage to the relatively fragile floating mechanism 4 or bucket lid 2 during lifting. When harvesting is needed, the operator only needs to hold the plastic handle 7 to lift the entire device out of the water.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-4 Among them, the side of the material-bearing baffle 5 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 8; With the above structural design, when the device is placed in water or shakes due to water flow or fish movement, the fish food on the feeding baffle 5 would easily slip off the edge and fall to the bottom of the bucket without the upright plate 8. The upright plate 8 forms a barrier on the side of the feeding baffle 5, like the edge of a shallow plate or bowl, which effectively blocks and concentrates the fish food in the central area of ​​the baffle, preventing premature loss of bait and ensuring the continued effectiveness of the bait.
