- a ring member of an elongated continuous endless band having a circular cross-sectional configuration;
- a plurality of S-hooks suspended from the ring member and extending downwardly therefrom;
- a net having its open mouth end suspended from the S-hooks completely about the ring the net being manufactured of woven wire having an open mouth end, a closed bottom end, and side wall surfaces, the open mouth end being suspended generally parallel to the plane of the ring and spaced slightly downwardly therefrom by the S-shaped hook;
- a bracket affixed to the ring and extending radially outward therefrom, the bracket being of a winged V-shaped configuration having the wings permanently affixed to the ring and with the vertex of the V projecting radially outwardly from the ring, the bracket lying coplanar with the plane of the ring and having its vertex end extending furthest outwardly from the periphery of the ring;
- and
- a cylindrical post affixed to the bracket and extending downwardly therefrom in a direction normal to the plane of the ring and adapted to be fit into the oarlock hole of a boat for securing the bag thereto, the post being of an elongated cylindrical configuration having a top end and a bottom end and cylindrical side walls, the top end of the post being positioned inwardly of the vertex portion of the bracket and being permanently affixed thereto with the post extending normal to the bracket in the same direction in which the net is suspended from the ring.
