## Abstract

An illuminating marine fish attractor includes a bait reservoir, an insulated container, a floating deck, at least one illuminating device, a power source, a power switch, and a floating line. The bait reservoir is attached to the floating deck and attract fishes towards the floating deck. The illuminating device is connected onto the floating deck so that the bait reservoir can be illuminated. To illuminate the bait reservoir, the illuminating device is electrically connected to the power source through the power switch and oriented toward the bait reservoir. The floating deck and the insulated container are tethered to each other by the floating line so that the floating deck can be utilized within a body of water while the insulated cooler functions as a base for the floating line.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An illuminating marine fish attractor comprising:
a bait reservoir;
an insulated container;
a floating deck;
at least one illuminating device;
at least one deck handle;
a power source;
a power switch;
a floating line;
a connector line, having a first end and a second end;
the bait reservoir further comprising a storage container and a perforated lid attached to the rim of the storage container;
the first end of the connector line being attached to the perforated lid;
the second end of the connector line being centrally attached to the floating deck
the least one illuminating device being fastened onto the floating deck;
the least one illuminating device being electrically connected to the power source through the power switch;
the at least one illuminating device being outside the bait reservoir;
the at least one illuminating device being oriented toward the bait reservoir;
the deck handle being oppositely positioned of the at least one illuminating device, about the floating deck;
the deck handle being hingedly connected to the floating deck; and
the floating deck and the insulated container being tethered to each other by the floating line.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The illuminating marine fish attractor as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
the insulated container comprising a top edge, a base, a lateral wall, and a storage compartment;
the top edge and the base being oppositely positioned of each other;
the lateral wall being perimetrically connected around the base; and
the storage compartment being delineated by the lateral wall and the base.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The illuminating marine fish attractor as claimed in claim 2 comprising:
at least one container handle;
the container handle being externally positioned to the insulated container; and
the container handle being hingedly connected to the lateral wall.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

at least one set of wheels;
the set of wheels being externally positioned to the insulated container; and
the set of wheels being rotatably connected to the base.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The illuminating marine fish attractor as claimed in claim 2 comprising:
a cover;
the cover being hingedly connected to the lateral wall;
the cover being positioned adjacent to the top edge; and
the storage compartment being selectively enclosed by the cover.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The illuminating marine fish attractor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the power source is removably positioned within a storage compartment of the insulated container.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The illuminating marine fish attractor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the power source is hermetically integrated into the at least one illuminating device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The illuminating marine fish attractor as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
a plurality of legs;
the plurality of legs being perimetrically positioned around the at least one illuminating device; and
the plurality of legs being connected to the floating deck.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The illuminating marine fish attractor as claimed in claim 8, wherein a height of each of the plurality of legs being larger than a height of the at least one illuminating device.
