A fishing machine is disclosed which automates various aspects of fishing techniques. Values for fishing depth, line pull, and jigging length can be electronically stored by the fisherman. A motor is controlled on the basis of these store values to rotate a reel on which a fishing line is stored. The reel is turned to extend the line or bring it in to implement the stored fishing depth and jigging length. The motor speed and torque are also controlled in accordance with signals obtained from a line pull detector and motor speed feedback signals. With this system, once the above-mentioned values are stored, the fishing line descends to the desired fishing depth, jigging is performed, and when the fish is hooked this is detected and it is reeled in, all this being done automatically. Further features involve a capacity to learn, store, and then simulate the particular technique of an individual fisherman. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of this invention to provide an approach for catching fish that retains the sport, enjoyment, and relaxation while yielding a higher catch than that which is possible with a single fishing rod. A further object of the invention is to provide a computer-controlled fishing machine. Another object of the invention is to provide a computer-controlled fishing machine which can learn and then simulate the fishing characteristics of an individual. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a computer-controlled fishing machine which is watertight, rugged, and reliable. A further object of the invention is to provide a computer-controlled fishing machine which can sense a hooked fish and pull it in automatically. These and other objects of the invention are attained by a system for automatically-controlled fishing comprising: a motor coupled to a drum on which is stored a length of fishing line, means for driving the motor and thereby rotating said drum to control the amount of fishing line extending from said drum, means for storing a selected fishing depth, means for determining a fishing depth value from the amount of fishing line extending from said drum, and control means for comparing the selected fishing depth and the determined fishing depth for generating a signal to the motor driving means to drive the motor until the determined fishing depth substantially equals the selected fishing depth. Another aspect of the invention is attained by a system for automatically-controlled fishing machine comprising: a motor coupled to a drum on which is stored a length of fishing line, means for driving the motor and thereby rotating said drum to control the amount of fishing line extending from said drum, means for storing a selected line pull value, means for detecting the actual line pull on the fishing line, and control means for comparing the selected line pull and the detected line pull for generating a signal to the motor driving means to regulate power supplied to the motor so that the detected line pull is substantially equal to the selected line pull
