A powered fishing line casting system utilizing compressed air is provided to cast a projectile provided with fishhooks and bait, and to which the fishing line to be cast is attached, to greater distances than could be achieved using conventional casting methods. The system includes a hollow launch tube sized to accommodate insertion of the projectile. A reducer is disposed adjacent to one end of the launch tube and is adapted to receive a flow of compressed gas from an accumulator tank and to discharge a stream of high-velocity air that impinges upon the projectile disposed within the launch tube in order to launch the projectile. A manually-operable valve is interposed between the reducer and the accumulator tank to control the flow of air to the reducer. Spaced-apart front and rear support legs provide stable support for the system during and between launches of a fishing line carrying projectile.

The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of said at least one canister and said carrier is fabricated from a moderately flexible and resilient plastic material. 3. A fishing line casting system comprising: means for launching a fishing line carrying projectile comprising: an elongate launching tube for receiving said fishing line carrying projectile, said elongate launching tube having proximal and distal ends, a reservoir of compressed gas in fluid communication with said launching tube, said reservoir having proximal and distal ends, at least one tube connected to and extending between said proximal ends of said elongate launching tube and said reservoir of compressed gas and providing the fluid communication therebetween, valve means for permitting a flow of pressurized gas from said reservoir of compressed gas to said launching tube, said valve means being both manually actuatable and located on said at least one tube, said valve means comprising a handle and latch means for retain mg said handle in position, said handle extending from said latch means, said latch means being pivotally attached to a valve within a chamber that is connected to and communicates with said at least one tube, said latch means also having an opening therethrough, safety means for preventing inadvertent launch of said fish mg line carrying projectile, said safety means comprising means for selectively locking said valve means in a closed position, said means for selectively locking comprising a plate extending outwardly from said at least one tube and mounting members having first ends attached at the plate and extend mg to second ends thereof in a direction which is transverse relative to said plate, each of said mounting members having an opening therethrough, said means for selectively locking further comprising a spring-loaded pin extending through said openings in said mounting members, and wherein when said latch means is pivoted such that said opening in said latch means is generally aligned with said openings in said mounting members and said spring-loaded pin extends through said opening of said latch means, said valve means is locked in the closed position and the handle is prevented from movement; and front support means and rear support means for stably supporting said launching means during and between launches of a fishing line carrying projectile. 4. The system of claim 3 further comprising means for supporting a fishing rod. 5. The system of claim 4 further comprising means for adjusting a height of said fishing rod supporting means. 6. The system of claim 3 further comprising means for adjusting a height of at least one of said front and rear support means. 7. The system of claim 6 wherein said means for adjusting comprise means for adjusting the height of said rear support means. 8. The system of claim 3 further comprising means carried by at least one of said front and rear support means for securing said system to a surface. 9. The system of claim 3 wherein said front support means comprise at least two legs. 10. The system of claim 9 wherein said at least two legs are arranged in an inverted "V" formation. 11. The system of claim 3 wherein said rear support means comprise at least one leg. 12. A fishing line casting and fishing bait projectile forming system comprising: means for launching a fishing line carrying projectile, said launching means including an elongate launching tube for receiving said fishing line carrying projectile, a reservoir of compressed gas in fluid communication with said launching tube, at least one tube extending between said launching tube and said reservoir of compressed gas, and valve means for permitting a flow of pressurized gas from said reservoir of compressed gas to said launching tube connected to and in communication with said at least one tube; front support means and rear support means for stably supporting said launching means during and between launches of said fishing line carrying projectile; and at least one generally cylindrical canister having a circumferential wall, a first open end and a second closed end which define a longitudinal axis of said at least one canister therebetween, said circumferential wall being tapered toward said second end, said at least one canister having support means on an outer surface of said second closed end, said support means comprising a plurality of radially arranged vanes extending generally parallel to said longitudinal axis of said at least one canister and being equiangularly disposed on said outer surface of said second closed end, wherein said at least one canister has sufficient volume to accommodate fishing tackle and a quantity of water sufficient to envelop the fishing tackle when the water is frozen, and wherein the frozen water and fishing tackle enveloped therein define a fishing line carrying projectile adapted to be received in said launching tube. 13.
