Abstract

Watercraft automation and aquatic data are utilized for aquatic efforts. In one aspect, an anchor point is obtained and a watercraft position maintenance routine is actuated to control the watercraft to maintain association with the anchor point. In another aspect, prior aquatic effort data is obtained in association with an anchor point. In yet another aspect, current aquatic effort data is generated in association with an anchor point. In still another aspect, current aquatic effort data and prior aquatic effort data are utilized for prediction generation. In yet another aspect, current aquatic effort data and prior aquatic effort data are utilized to obtain another anchor point for a watercraft.

Claims (12)

1. A fishing lure system, comprising:

a fishing lure; and

a radio frequency identifier connected to the fishing lure, wherein the radio frequency identifier is encoded with at least one member of a group consisting of: a lure weight identifier, a lure color identifier and a lure type identifier.

2. The fishing lure system of claim 1 , wherein the radio frequency identifier is embedded in the lure.

3. The fishing lure system of claim 1 , wherein the radio frequency identifier is embedded in a head of the fishing lure.

4. The fishing lure system of claim 1 , wherein the radio frequency identifier is embedded in a head of the fishing lure and the head is weight balance.

5. The fishing lure system of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to detect the encoded information of the radio frequency identifier.

6. The fishing lure system of claim 5 , further comprising a computing device, wherein the computing device is in communication with the sensor and configured to store the encoded information detected by the sensor.

7. A fishing lure system, comprising:

a fishing lure; and

a radio frequency identifier embedded in the fishing lure, wherein the radio frequency identifier is encoded with at least one member of a group consisting of: a lure weight identifier, a lure color identifier and a lure type identifier.

8. The fishing lure system of claim 7 , further comprising a sensor and a computing device, wherein the sensor is configured to detect the encoded information of the radio frequency identifier, wherein the computing device is in communication with the sensor and configured to store the encoded information detected by the sensor.
