Fishing protector
A fishing protector and a method for use of the fishing protector at or near the sea bed by long-line fishing is provided to avoid that the catch is eaten by sea mammal when the line with the catch is hauled into a fishing boat. A gliding stopper is fastened at the termination of the line and thereafter the fishing protector is hooked on the line during the setting out of the line such that the line passes through the fishing protector. By hauling of the line the line is passing through the fishing protector and the catch is hooked off inside the fishing protector. An opening and closing mechanism at a first termination of the fishing protector closes the opening through which the fish passed, avoiding fish to escape.
1. Fishing protector for use at or near the sea bed by long-line fishing for collecting of fish on the line before the line with the catch in the fishing protector is hauled into a fishing boat,
wherein the fishing protector comprises:
a tank for storing the catch, the tank having an opening in a first termination is for receiving fish,
a device for hooking off the fish inside the tank,
at least one opening for discharging liquid from the tank,
at least one device for guiding the line through the upper part of the tank from the first termination to a second termination.
2. Fishing protector according to claim 1 , wherein it comprises a device enabling the fishing protector to be hooked on the line before or during setting out the line.
3. Fishing protector according to claim 1 , wherein the opening for receiving fish in the tank is provided with an opening and closing mechanism.
4. Fishing protector according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one device for guiding the line through the upper part of the tank is located on the inside of the outer wall of the tank and that the at least one device is rounded.
5. Fishing protector according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one device is a pipe, pulley or metal plate.
6. Fishing protector according to claim 1 , wherein the second termination has a hatch which is fastened removable to the second termination.
7. Method for use of the fishing protector according to claim 1 , wherein at least one gliding stopper is fastened at the termination of the line,
the fishing protector is thereafter hooked on the line during the setting out of the line such that the line passes through the fishing protector by the pulling of the line without letting the fishing protector come to the surface,
the opening and closing mechanism opens the opening for letting fish into the fishing protector and closes when the fishes have passed, and the fish is hooked off when the line passes the device inside the tank.
8. Method according to claim 7 , wherein the opening for receiving fish in the fishing protector is closed by a gliding stopper before the fishing protector is hauled towards the surface.
9. Fishing protector according to claim 2 , wherein the opening for receiving fish in the tank is provided with an opening and closing mechanism.
10. Fishing protector according to claim 2 ,
wherein at least one device for guiding the line through the upper part of the tank is located on the inside of the outer wall of the tank and that the at least one device is rounded.
11. Fishing protector according to claims 3 ,
Wherein at least one device for guiding the line through the upper part of the tank is located on the inside of the outer wall of the tank and that the at least one device is rounded.
12. Fishing protector according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one device is a pipe, pulley or metal plate.
13. Fishing protector according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one device is a pipe, pulley or metal plate.
14. Fishing protector according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one device is a pipe, pulley or metal plate.
15. Fishing protector according to claim 2 , wherein the second termination has a hatch which is fastened removable to the second termination.
16. Fishing protector according to claim 3 , wherein the second termination has a hatch which is fastened removable to the second termination.
17. Fishing protector according to claim 4 , wherein the second termination has a hatch which is fastened removable to the second termination.
18. Fishing protector according to claim 5 , wherein the second termination has a hatch which is fastened removable to the second termination.
19. Method for use of the fishing protector according to claim 2 , wherein at least one gliding stopper is fastened at the termination of the line,
the fishing protector is thereafter hooked on the line during the setting out of the line such that the line passes through the fishing protector by the pulling of the line without letting the fishing protector come to the surface,
the opening and closing mechanism opens the opening for letting fish into the fishing protector and closes when the fishes have passed, and the fish is hooked off when the line passes the device inside the tank.
20. Method for use of the fishing protector according to claim 3 , wherein at least one gliding stopper is fastened at the termination of the line,
the fishing protector is thereafter hooked on the line during the setting out of the line such that the line passes through the fishing protector by the pulling of the line without letting the fishing protector come to the surface,
the opening and closing mechanism opens the opening for letting fish into the fishing protector and closes when the fishes have passed, and the fish is hooked off when the line passes the device inside the tank.
