Abstract:

This apparatus is a box for cut and /or live fishing bait having a main body portion including a bottom wall, front, back and first and second side walls, defining a principle interior chamber with an open top. Two “J” shaped brackets/handles extend upward from the main body of the device, facing in opposite directions, enabling the apparatus to hang from the railing of a boat, pier, dock or fishing area and maintaining stability against turbulent water/windy conditions. The device can also be placed on a flat surface when fishing from the shoreline or any area that does not have a railing readily available. Attached to the outside of one side of the bait box main body is a hollow, circular shaped cup holder and on the outside of the opposite side of the bait box main body is a cylindrical, tubular tool holder. The device attaches to the railing of a boat, pier, dock or fishing area and satisfies the needs of fishermen as a personal, convenient, stable and safe way to transport and have cut and/or live fishing bait readily available, while incorporating a tool holder for assisting in retrieving hooks from fish, and a cup holder for the desired beverage of the fishermen.
