Patent ID: 8282102

Claim:
A fishing game apparatus comprising: a game board having a body including a top surface adapted to receive a removable surface pattern plate member, and including a grid pattern of equally spaced rectilinear lines of holes therethrough; a hollow core adapted to receive a removable underlying pattern plate member, a slit on one side thereof adapted to allow said underlying pattern plate member to be slid therethrough; at least one slot on a side adjacent to said one side and adapted to allow the passage of ferrous beads therethrough into said hollow core; said removable surface pattern plate member having a predetermined pattern of holes therethrough aligning with predetermined holes of said top surface of said body; said underlying pattern plate member having a predetermined pattern of holes that is different than said pattern of holes of said removable surface pattern plate member, such that only a set number of holes of said top surface, said removable surface pattern plate member, and said underlying pattern plate member align with one another; a predetermined number of ferrous beads sized and adapted to pass through said at least one slit and each respective hole of said surface and plate members, and reside in respective holes of said underlying pattern plate member; a fishing pole member including a magnetized tip adapted to pass through each respective hole of said surface and plate members, and adapted to attach to one of said plurality of ferrous beads at a time, when respective holes are aligned and a ferrous bead resides therein, and pull them through and out of said respective holes and out from said game board body; a plurality of surface pattern plate members and underlying pattern plate members having differing patterns, such that any one of said surface pattern plate members and one of said underlying pattern plate members are chosen and placed upon and within said game board, thereby changing the location of respectively aligning holes, and thereby changing the location of where said ferrous beads can be pulled out by said fishing pole member.
