'''A shark targeting high-tech ocean equipment is spotted off the Griffin Rock shore.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:DeepTrouble time for fishing.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
[[Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] and his wife are enjoying a trip in the Mayor's boat, the ''[[Floating Xanadu]]'', when Luskey realizes they're near the coast but he can't see the lighthouse. Elsewhere, the Burnses and the Greenes are having a barbeque and basketball game. Luskey contacts [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] to tell him to turn on the light. While [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] rescue the mayor, Doc Greene puzzles over why the automatic sensors didn't pick up the mayor's ship and turn the lighthouse on. Safely back on land, Luskey has it out with Greene, and explains that as tomorrow is the [[Miss Griffin Rock]] competition, he wants the lighthouse back in working order.

The next morning, Chief Burns arrives at the breakfast table with a fishing rod—it's time for their annual fishing trip. Dani, [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] all give excuses, but [[Cody Burns|Cody]] is keen and suggests they bring the [[Rescue Bot]]s along as well. The ''[[Darby Eva]]'' proves capable of carrying the four bots without sinking, and Burns makes Blades first mate. Cody instructs the Bots on the finer points of fishing, as they approach Doc Greene's floating research lab, where Greene has discovered that the lighthouse's underwater electro-magnetic sensors have been destroyed. He gives Cody a hi-tech fishing line that uses electro-magnetic bait.

Back at the fire station, the others do dishes and briefly wonder if they did the right thing in dipping out on the fishing trip.

Cody, Charlie and the Bots start fishing, but after [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] loses his fishing rod, he tries using Greene's hi-tech version. He quickly gets a bite, which to their surprise turns out to be a [[Shark submarine|gigantic shark]]. It rams the ship, knocking Heatwave overboard, and as he floats in the water, the mechanical shark attacks him. As he wrestles with it, it uses lasers to destroy the fishing rod. The other Rescue Bots jump into the water, but can't do much more than watch as the shark knocks Heatwave loose by bashing him against rocks. Burns heads back to Doc Greene's lab.

On the beach, the Miss Griffin Rock pageant is in full swing, but as the mayor's wife is about to announce the finalists, the robot shark appears offshore, sparking a panic. Surprised, Greene reports his sensors aren't picking up anything shark-sized, but soon gets a visit from the shark himself. The shark destroys the doc's underwater sensor, and he shows the Burnses the footage of the shark he's gathered. Cody and Greene realize the shark's attacking electro-magnetics.

The other three Burnses at the fire station reminisce about previous fishing trips, and decide to join the one currently in progress.

While Cody monitors things from the pier with the [[ComTab]], Chief Burns and the bots go out with one of the doc's boosted sensors. Once the shark turns up, Burns starts leading it towards a secluded cove, but it suddenly peels off and goes after the Griffin Rock ferry instead. Burns warns the ferry captain [[Arthur Shaw]] and the ferry avoids the first strike, so Burns and Blades head over to help the people on board. Heatwave, [[Boulder]] and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] jump into the sea and use their vehicle modes to reach the shark submarine. After damaging the sub to the point where it's non-operational, they float to the surface where Cody gets them to swim to shore with it. The rest of the Burns family reaches the pier in time to see the shark, but as Chief Burns and Blade crack it open, they hear a computer voice announcing self destruct. Blades flies the sub out to sea where it explodes. As they leave the pier, Cody wonders who could have built such a thing and among the wreckage which landed on the pier, spots a fragment with a [[Cody on Patrol|familiar logo on it]].
