Abstract
A fishing device having a cup-shaped net or a cylindrical net with one end totally closed and the opened mouth attached to an inflatable circular tube with hooks and rings whereby a rope can pass through so that when said tube is deflated said rope will constrict the mouth of said net when pulled from the surface of the water, said floatable tube further containing exhaust nozzles whereby a fluid can discharge in order to cause a propulsive action to the said tube.
