Repositionable Ice Hole Fishing Net Device

A repositionable ice hole fishing net device comprising:

• a handle;
• a telescopic pivoting arm connected to the handle via a first pivot point;
• and
• a curved net connected to the pivoting arm via a second pivot point;
• wherein the second pivot point is configured to allow rotation of the curved net along an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pivoting arm;
• and
• further wherein the curved net is rotatable via the second pivot point between a vertical position, wherein a top surface of the curved net is generally parallel with the pivoting arm, and a horizontal position, wherein the top surface of the curved net is generally parallel with a top surface of the handle.

A method of using a repositionable ice hole fishing net device, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing a repositionable ice hole fishing net device comprised of comprising a handle, a pivoting arm, and a curved net;
• inserting the curved net into an ice fishing hole around a fish in an orientation wherein a top surface of the curved net is generally parallel with the pivoting arm;
• rotating the curved net from a vertical position to a horizontal position, wherein the top surface of the curved net is generally parallel with a top surface of the handle, by manipulating the handle such that the pivoting arm repositions the curved net via a first pivot point and a second pivot point, thereby positioning the curved net beneath the fish within the ice fishing hole;
• securing the pivoting arm using a locking mechanism to maintain the orientation of the curved net;
• and
• pulling the handle upwards from the ice fishing hole such that the curved net lifts the fish from the ice fishing hole, allowing water and slush to drain through a plurality of openings in the curved net.
