Abstract
The present invention generally relates to digital fishing net scales to determine the weight of a catch in the fishing net and to automatically record the weight. The present invention also relates to a system and method of automatically determining and recording the weight of a catch and catch related data, and to a system and method of generating fishing hotspot information. In particular, the present invention relates to digital scales that are communicatively connected to a system comprising a data store for automatically storing the weight of each catch/fish, and optionally for automatically storing related data. Related data may include catch related data originating from the digital fishing net scale or hotspot related data originating from devices/data stores operably connected to the hotspot system; illustrative examples include location, time, date, lunar phase, air temperature, water temperature, water depth, water salinity, weather conditions, species of fish, fish activity, and/or comments of a user. Further the present invention provides a system for generating fishing hotspot information that includes a digital fishing net scale, and methods that generate fishing hotspot information by determining and correlating weight data, optional catch related data, and hotspot related data with their corresponding location data.
