FISHING DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR FISHING DEVICE

To provide a fishing device capable of reducing the number of re-throwing of a fishhook.SOLUTION: A fishing device 100 for automatically performing fishing comprises: a drive unit 22 capable of rotating and driving a rod 10, to which a hook is attached via a fishing line, at least in a plane approximately perpendicular to a water surface by taking a terminal of the rod 10 as a fulcrum; and a control unit 30 for controlling the drive unit 22. The control unit 30 controls the drive unit 22 so that a throwing operation of throwing the hook into water by rotating the rod 10 in the approximately perpendicular plane, a longitudinal invitation operation of rotating the rod 10 in the approximately perpendicular plane and making the hook thrown in water gradually approach to a ship's side 1S, a longitudinal gathering operation of rotating the rod 10 in the approximately perpendicular plane when fish is caught by the hook and making the fish approach to the ship's side 1S, and a lifting operation of rotating the rod 10 in the approximately perpendicular plane and lifting the fish on the ship 1 are performed. The control unit 30 controls the drive unit 22 so that after the longitudinal invitation operation is terminated, a lateral invitation operation of reciprocating the rod 10's tip in a plane approximately horizontal with respect to the water surface is performed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】釣り針を再投入する回数を少なくすることができる魚釣装置を提供する。【解決手段】自動で魚釣りを行う魚釣装置１００であって、針が釣糸を介して取り付けられた竿１０を、竿１０の末端を支点として少なくとも水面に対する略垂直面内で回転駆動可能な駆動部２２と、駆動部２２を制御する制御部３０と、を備え、制御部３０は、略垂直面内で竿１０を回転させ、針を水中に投入する投入動作と、略垂直面内で竿１０を回転させ、水中に投入した針を徐々に舷側１Ｓに近づける縦誘い動作と、魚が針掛かりしたときに略垂直面内で竿１０を回転させ、魚を舷側１Ｓに近づける縦寄せ動作と、略垂直面内で竿１０を回転させ、魚を船１の上に釣り上げる釣り上げ動作と、が行われるように駆動部２２を制御し、制御部３０は、縦誘い動作を終了した後に、水面に対する略水平面内で竿１０の先端を往復させる横誘い動作が行われるように駆動部２２を制御する。【選択図】図１
