There was an underwater-ROV post a while back, forgive me if I can't find it. But it did talk about sealing all your parts in PVC, just incase it goes under. For a shark-fishing ro-boat, I'd suggest doing the same. what sensors would you use?

I'm going to two bumper switches.

I'm sure it will be great!  You have a flare for great designs, and a wonderful playful attitude. 

Just look at your worm drawing, he is even smiling as he is mortally impaled on a hook and about to be devoured.

What if the fish is bigger than your robot?  Will it float?

All tingley,

Do not be afraid, because I build the robot out of the PVC tubes. It is dense and can dive.
The robot is approximately 50 cm x 40 cm and it weighs 3000g so would be a pretty big fish :).
