The float assembly includes a pair of elongate buoyant float members interconnected by a support element having a opening therethrough. The fishing line guide and locking assembly includes a mounting member journaled on the support element and having elongate guide elements projecting into an opening therethrough. The fishing line extends through the guide elements, mounting member and support element and is freely moveable through these components when the guide and locking assembly is in a horizontal unlocked position in the water. The fishing line is locked to the support element and the guide and locking assembly when the latter is in a vertical position in the water.
