A portable fishing aid that contains two detachable parts, the outer sleeve and the sleeve holder, wherein the outer sleeve contains a built-in audiovisual bite and alert sensor and the outer sleeve holder contains a wire basket or similar material permanently attached to a penetration spike that can be safely driven into the ground at a preferable angle and depth to withstand and support the weight of the fishing pole.
1. A fishing aid comprising:
an outer sleeve formed from an elongate hollow tubular member having a top end and a bottom end, wherein said top end is open and said bottom end includes a recloseable bottom cover, said outer sleeve divided into an upper compartment accessible through said open top end and a lower compartment accessible through said bottom cover;
a rod holder including a pole stabilizer and a spring actuating bracket, said rod holder located inside said upper compartment of said outer sleeve near said top end;
an indicator circuit formed by an indicator disposed in said lower compartment, a removable battery, and a switch including two contacts, wherein one contact is mounted to an adjustable bite sensor threaded through said outer sleeve inside said upper compartment and one contact is disposed on said rod holder, wherein said contacts are aligned to close said indicator circuit and actuate said indicator when said spring actuating bracket is deflected to cause said contact on said rod holder to touch said contact on said outer sleeve, wherein the threading of said adjustable bite sensor changes the amount of deflection in said spring actuating bracket needed to cause said contacts to touch; and
a sleeve holder formed from a basket, said basket having a circular open top end sized to receive said outer sleeve and a closed bottom end, and a spike attached to said basket, said circular open top end circumscribing said outer sleeve when said outer sleeve is inserted therein.
