The invention provides a fishing bobber having a strike-indicating radi o transmitter for transmitting a radio signal to the fisherman when there is a strike on the line. The bobber includes a bobber body adapted to float on a body of water with a fishing line connected to it during use. The radio transmitter is supported by and preferably housed within the bobber. Operatively connected to the transmitte r is a transmitter switch for actuating the transmitter. An operating means is connected to the switch for closing the switch in response to a fish exerting tension on the fishing line to thereby operate the radio transmitter so as to broadcast a radio signal to alert the fisherman when a fish strikes. In one preferred form the bobber includes an auxiliary float that can move up and down relative to the bobber for actuati ng the switch. In another form, the bobber itself is connected to slide up and down on a post which is connected to the fishing line, so that when the post is pulled downwardly by tension on the line the bobber slides upwardly toward the top of the post, thereby closing the transmitter switch. The radio transmitter can also be supported on a transmitter float which floats on the surface of the water next to the bobbe r and is connected to it electrically.
