Definitions

a fishing line includes at least one inner line, for transmission of signals and an outer line, disposed about the inner line.
a fishing line which may be used as a transmission line over which signals between an underwater device and an above water device may be transmitted is provided.
the at least one inner line may be provided as a conductive line and the outer line may be provided either as a braided outer line or a unitary line having a cavity along a central longitudinal axis thereof.
the underwater device may be provided, for example, as a sensing device such as a microphone or a camera.
the above water device may be provided as a detector or a receiver.
a corresponding compass provided in the above water portion of the system 10 may be correlated with the lure compass to provide the relative position of the lure with respect to the boat or angler location. Such information may then be displayed on a monitor to indicate the position of the lure relative the boat, for example, at all times. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize of course that the information may also be displayed on the monitor to indicate the position of the boat relative the lure.
Signals provided from the sensing devices 15, which may be provided for example as sonar or video signals, to the angler may allow the angler to monitor fish reactions to various types of scent and bleeding-type substances and the fish's interest in such substances.
the microphone may be coupled to the amplifier via a conductive wire, or other conductor, which is embedded in the fishing line.
a video sensor, sonar sensor or any other type of sensor may also be coupled to the conductor embedded in the fishing line.
illumination is provided by a pair of fiber optic cables which are coupled to the lure.
a first end of the fiber optic cable is coupled to a light source which may be provided as an above or below water surface light source.
a second end of the fiber optic cable is coupled to the lure.
the second end of the fiber optic cable is exposed through a surface of the lure in a region proximate the camera.
the second end of the fiber optic cable may be coupled along the surface of the lure or simply trailing along proximate the lure. The fiber optic cable illuminates the region in which the camera is directed.
the sensor 260 can be mounted at any one of numerous places along the fishing rod 252, placing the sensor 260 at a location that provides the largest or most significant event indication requires a less sensitive and generally less costly sensor 260. Additional sensors, such as a second rod sensor 260' and guide sensor 260'' can be provided as a failure back-up for first sensor 260, to provide additional sensitivity, or to corroborate a positive event indication by another sensor. Furthermore, one or more sensors 260 can have a user controllable gain to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor to accommodate ambient conditions, as well as fishing line weight and pole stiffness. In the illustrated embodiment, each of the sensors 260 are shown connected to an output circuit 263 with a wire 264.
