Abstract
A floating artificial weed line which attracts fresh or salt water fish. The invention is made of floating material preferably in the form of multiple floating panels connected together to form weed lines of any desired size. The panels are framed by a floating plastic water resilient structural material filed with a plastic material resembling sea weed. The weed lines can be used drifting or anchored to the bottom, and may be connected to a fishing boat.
Claims10
A floating artificial weed line comprising:
- a buoyant framework having a perimeter and at least one relatively large aperture;
- means for blocking at least a portion of sun rays from penetrating said at least one aperture, said means for blocking connected to said perimeter, said buoyant framework, with said means for blocking connected, being substantially planar and having a preselected amount of buoyancy sufficient to float substantially horizontally at the surface of a body of water.
A floating artificial weed line comprising:
- a first and a second elongate members made of a buoyant material;
- at least a third and a fourth elongate members made of a buoyant material spaced apart and connected perpendicularly between said first and said second elongate members forming an essentially planar rectangular frame with at least one opening of predetermined size;
- a sheet of material connected to said essentially planar rectangular frame and covering said at least one opening, said sheet of material having a plurality of apertures for allowing a predetermined portion of sun rays through said at least one opening, said essentially planar rectangular frame, including said sheet of material connected thereto, having a preselected buoyancy sufficient to float substantially horizontally on the surface of a body of water.
