Abstract:
The fish catching trap includes a substantially rigid round base having an open net surrounding it. A buoy or float is attached to the net by a line, the buoy being held stationary to an upper handle-like portion of the base using a nail or pin. The pin is attached to a string connected to fish bait placed in the bottom of the trap. When a fish disturbs or moves the bait, the string is pulled and the pin is released, allowing the buoy to quickly move upwards, closing the net surrounding the base and trapping any fish in the area. A second buoy serves as a visual indicator that the trap has been sprung.

Claim (Index 5):
The fish trap as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the upper frame member includes a channel defined therein, the retaining pin extending longitudinally through the channel of the upper frame member, the retaining pin being slidable in the channel between the set position in which the retaining pin extends through the first looped bracket to hold the net-activating buoy to the upper frame member and the released position in which the buoy is raised by buoyant forces, the net-activating buoy pulling the upper net upward and closing the upper net to enclose the trap from the base to above the upper frame member, trapping any fish between the base and the upper frame member.
