Fish-On NOW !

A fish alerting device for Ice Fishing with Tip Ups and automatic hook set systems.

Ideal for bite notification when fishing during the day (loud buzzer) and at night (high brightness LED).

You know the feeling, you're in the ice hut but you can't see your tip-up outside, or you are monitoring a few tip-ups and go to set a line and don't notice a tip-up has flagged. This device solves these issues and also enables you to fish at night.

It will work with most tip-ups that have a spring loaded rod with a flag.

It's simple, consisting of a mercury level switch, buzzer, led, switch, resistor and battery and costs just under $9 to make.

To use, point "Fish-On Now!" down and push the switch forward to switch on. Then when it moves above level, it will buzz and light the LED. Flick the switch off to shut it up whilst setting your tip-ups.

Consult your own regulations for permitted use (I don't know of any that don't allow it).
