Abstract

A fishing apparatus is set forth including a bucket-like container formed with a pivotal handle attached to diametrically opposed sides thereof. The container includes a threadedly securable lid to secure contents within the bucket wherein the lid is reversibly positionable on the bucket to provide a cushion seat for use by an individual. The bucket further contains an upwardly depending conduit integrally formed to a side wall of the bucket to accept a pole therewithin. Furthermore when the bucket is unattended, side mounted legs are pivoted from a first position to a second downward position wherein they depend forwardly and downwardly from the bucket to secure the bucket against tipping in the event of a fish strike. The interior of the bucket is provided with a series of hooks for securement of fish thereon.
