Abstract
A novel aquatic system that includes a motorized housing which can be propelled across a body of water. The motorized housing is coupled to a tethering line that can be used to provide a command to stop and/or control the movement of the housing. The line may be coupled to a rod and reel used to pull the housing back to the operator. The housing may be shaped as a fish and contain an off-center weight that vibrates and provides the simulated experience of “catching the fish”.
