Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a gamefish attractor system that is modular enabling any number of cover regions to be formed in a row or other pattern to attract fish and also is configured to attach to a separate spawning bed.

Background

Gamefish prefer cover as this protects them from other larger fish and also hides them from smaller bait fish. Small baitfish may swim by a cover region and the gamefish may easily suck them in for a quick and easy meal. Also, gamefish make beds during spawning season to lay eggs and/or to protect fry. The gamefish will protect the spawning bed and chase off predators including other fish and turtles. Many spawning beds are just a clearing in the vegetation, wherein the vegetation around the cleared away area provides some protection for the eggs or fry. In many bodies of water however, the spawning beds do not provide much if any cover for the fry and the gamefish loses a large percentage to predators. With no barriers extending up around the fry or eggs, it is difficult for the gamefish to always protect the entire perimeter. Gamefish will not spawn when in close proximity to other bass.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention is directed to a gamefish attractor system that is modular, having interconnects that are configured to attach a first cover assembly to a second cover assembly to produce two separate cover regions, or attach to a separate spawning bed. A game fish attractor may have cover regions configured in a row, or in a grid pattern, or any other suitable pattern. Each cover region is defined by a pair of fins that extend up from a cover assembly or cover frame to provide a protected area for gamefish. The fins may be coupled to frame extensions or to other fins by interconnects. The gamefish attractor may be configured on a floor of a body of water and the fins may extend up to produce a cover region that provides cover or shelter for the gamefish. Gamefish may spend time in the cover region to more effectively snare baitfish as they swim by the fins. Also, the cover assembly may be coupled with a spawning bed, having a tray to receive a spawning material, such as a spawning mat or natural spawning material, such as gravel.

A cover assembly may include a cover frame that includes frame extensions, such as rods, that extend from a first fin to a second fin. A plurality of cover regions may be configured in an assembly of the gamefish attractor and these cover regions may be in a row, or configured in orthogonal orientations to each other. Two cover regions may share a fin to produce the adjacent cover regions, wherein the first cover region is formed between a first fin and second fin and the second cover region is formed between the second fin and a third fin. The frame extensions may have the same or different lengths. The frame extensions are coupled to the fins by interconnects that may be detachably attachable to the fin and to the frame extension. Also, a cover region may include one frame extension and three fins, thereby producing a three-sided cover region with only one opening into the cover region around the perimeter.

An interconnect has a first connect portion for connecting to the fin and a second connect portion for connecting to the frame extension or a second fin. A first end of the fin may be coupled to the first connect portion of an interconnect by inserting the fin attachment, such as a cylindrical shaped portion of the fin extending along the base end of the fin, into the first connection portion through a first slot. The first connect portion may be configured to expand the width of the first slot to enable the fin attachment to be pressed into the first connect aperture. The frame extension may then be inserted into the second connect aperture of the second connect portion. The interconnect may have the first interconnect portion configured orthogonal to the second interconnect portion, wherein the first connect aperture axis is substantially orthogonal to the second connect aperture axis, or within about 15 degrees of orthogonal. The interconnect in reversible, wherein either the first or second interconnect portion can be coupled to the fin attachment.

A fin may have a shape that is configured to provide cover but may be curved to prevent snagging of lines or ropes thereon. A fin may have a generally bell-shape along the extended end from the base. The fin may have an upper extension portion that is flat and then curved regions from this flat upper extension portion to the sloped regions that slope down to the base. A fin may provide shade and produces a barrier for predators and other animals from eggs and/or fry.

A fin may have a camouflage pattern imprinted thereon such as a foliage imprint, or a natural element imprint, such as a log. The foliage imprint may be of grass and may be a color to better attract gamefish to the cover region. The grass of the foliage imprint may be separated by an open area that is a different color of shade of color. The grass imprint may be a dark color, such as dark green and the space between the grass may be lighter in color, such as a lighter green color. This alternating color tone may provide effective camouflage and may be spaced at about 25 mm intervals between dark and light tones, wherein the grass is about 25 mm wide and the open space between the grass is about 25 mm wide. The imprint may be a decal or may be painted or otherwise applied onto the fin. Also, a fin may be made out of a material that is effective to enable algae to grow thereon, such as plexiglass or poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or other plastics materials that enable algae growth thereon. Also, the algae growth on the fins may attract smaller feeder fish as they may feed on the algae growing on the fins.

A fin may have a length from a first end to a second end of about 50 cm or more, 60 cm or more, about 75 cm or more, about 1 m or more and any range between and including the length values provided. A fin may have a height from a base end to an extended end of about 20 cm or more, about 30 cm or more, about 35 cm or more, about 40 cm or more, about 50 cm or more and any range between and including the height values provided. The fins may have a thickness of about 3 mm or more, about 5 mm or more, about 8 mm or more and any range between and including the thickness values provided. A fin may have a smooth curved extended end extending from the base end. This smooth profile may prevent snagging of hooks on the fin. Also, the thin nature of the fin may enable the fin to automatically float vertically from the base end to the extended end, wherein the extended end is vertically above the base end when submerged in water.

A cover assembly may be sized to accommodate a particular species of fish and may have a width from a first fin to a second fin, or a frame extension length or fin length of about 25 cm or more, about 30 cm or more, about 40 cm or more, about 50 cm or more, about 60 cm or more, about 75 cm or more, about 1 m or more and any range between and including the length values provided. The width between the fins may be suitable for a large gamefish, such as a largemouth bass. The length of the cover region or frame extension may be about the same as the length of the fins to enable interchanging a fin for a frame extension when having a three-sided cover region. The dimensions of the cover region formed by the fins and frame extensions is selected to be conducive to attracting game fish for laying their eggs and/or fry. The cover region formed by the cover assembly may be rectangular in shape, with the fins extending substantially parallel to each other, or within about 15 degrees of parallel and with the first frame extension extending substantially parallel with the second frame extension, or third fin, or within 15 degrees of parallel. The length of the fin may be greater than the width from a first fin to a second fin across a cover region and the ratio of the fin length to the width may be about 1.25:1, about 1.5:1, about 1.75:1 or even 2.0:1, or any range between and including the ratios provided. The higher this ratio, the more elongated the depth of the cover region from an opening to the cover region.

A gamefish attractor system may be configured with a spawning bed, wherein the cover assembly is coupled to a spawning bed. A bed interconnect may couple a fin or frame extension to a spawning bed. Each of the bed interconnects may have a first connect portion for connecting to the fin or frame extension, and a second connect portion for connecting to the spawning bed. An exemplary spawning bed has a bed frame with bed walls that extend up from the bed base forming a spawning tray. A plurality of flow aperture may be configured in the bed base to allow a flow of water and oxygen to the eggs or fry. A bed retainer may extend from the bed frame to retain a spawning mat within the bed recess formed by the bed walls of the spawning tray. The spawning material, such as a spawning mat may be placed into the bed frame and retained by the retainer flange extending over the top of the spawning mat. A retainer post may extend through the spawning mat and be secured to the bed frame or bed base.

An exemplary bed interconnect has a first connect portion for connecting to a fin or frame extension and a second connect portion for connecting to the spawning bed, and a foot coupled to a foot extension. The second connect portion has a second connect slot for receiving a wall of the bed frame. The first connect portion has a first connect aperture and a first connect slot. The interconnect has the first interconnect portion configured orthogonal to the second interconnect portion, wherein the first connect aperture axis is orthogonal to the second connect aperture axis, or within about 15 degrees of orthogonal. The foot extension may be configured to provide an offset distance between the base of the spawning bed and a floor of the body of water to provide a flow of water and oxygen to the fry or eggs. The offset distance may be about 10 mm or more, about 20 mm or more, about 25 mm or more, about 30 mm or more and any range between and including the values provided.

A foot or leg extension of a foot may be configured to keep the spawning bed and spawning material therein substantially horizontal, even on a sloped floor surface. A gamefish attractor may be placed on a floor of a body of water at a preferred depth of about 60 cm or more, about 75 cm or more, about 1 m or more, about 1.25 m or more, about 1.5 m or more, about 2 m or more and any range between and including the values provided. The floor of the body of water may be sloped and therefore, the legs may be further extended on one side or end of the gamefish attractor than the other end or side to provide a substantially horizonal spawning bed, or within about 15 degrees of horizontal.

A spawning material may be placed into the spawning bed or spawning tray and may be a natural material such as pea gravel or other suitable stone, or may be a manufactured spawning material, such as a spawning mat. An exemplary spawning mat is Spawntex, available from Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems, Inc., Apopka, FL. A spawning mat may be retained in a spawning tray by a retainer flange that is coupled with a retainer post that extends through the spawning mat and is coupled with the spawning tray. The spawning mat may be about 25 mm in thickness or more, about 30 mm or more, about 40 mm or more, about 50 mm or more and any range between and including the thickness values provided. The bed wall of the spawning bed or spawning tray may be similar in height from the bed base and may have a height of about 30 mm or more, about 40 mm or more, about 50 mm or more and any range between and including the height values provided. The bed wall may be taller than the spawning material configured therein to prevent hooks from catching on the spawning material. The bed base of the spawning tray may have apertures therethrough to allow a flow of water and therefore oxygen to the eggs or fry. The apertures may be small enough to prevent a spawning material, such as gravel from falling through the apertures and may be about 5 mm or less in diameter or maximum dimension, about 4 mm or less, about 3 mm or less, about 2 mm or less, about 1 mm or less and any range between and including the values provided.

An alternating three-sided cover region geometry may be desirable to reduce or prevent the gamefish from seeing each other when in or when entering or exiting from adjacent cover regions. In a three-sided cover region design, a first cover region is formed by three fins and has an opening on a first side and a second adjacent cover region is also formed by three fins, one being in between the first and second cover region, and has an opening on the second side, opposite the first cover region. Put another way, the third fin of each of the first and second cover regions may alternate from the first side to the second side of the gamefish attractor. In this alternating three-sided cover region design, a gamefish may enter the cover region through an opening in the perimeter of the fins from an opposing side than an adjacent cover region.

A plurality of cover regions can be made by connecting frame extensions and fins in a desired row with one or more cover regions, two or more cover regions, three or more cover regions, five or more cover regions, ten or more cover regions and any number of cover regions between and including the number of regions provided. This arrangement makes it easier for a fisherman to know the orientation of the row of cover regions upon placement in a body of water. This understanding and knowledge of the orientation also enables the fisherman to more easily fish along the gamefish attractor.
