A fish strike sensor adapted to mount on various surfaces and includes a cradle for supporting a fishing rod and reel. The fish strike sensor includes a movable spring retainer that releasably retains a portion of the fishing line such that when a fish strikes the bait on a fishing line the removable retainer moves a certain distance with the fishing line at which point the line is released. When the removable retainer moves, a switch is actuated which activates a buzzer and LED.
