Pots with properly weighted lines should not be a issue in the "trolling area".

How so?

He's probably talking about weighted rope or weights on the rope to keep the slack line tight with the bouy, but I don't know for sure. He Scott, how was the fishing? My friend went and said the fish were everywhere, I only saw a couple pic's of dead fish.

How so is right...how would a downrigger cable, ball, flasher, lure, hook all avoid a pot line under water that can't be seen?

Right, buoys are required to be visible on the surface; line is required to be weighted so it doesn’t float. If those simple rules are followed boats can easily maneuver to the down current side of the buoy and avoid getting tangled up in the line.

I agree with you when everything is right(buoy lines long enough, buoys are floating and not underwater, etc) but that was not the case with the OP. I guess I misunderstood what you were saying. The buoy lines he got into were too short so he couldn't see the lines he got into.

Here we go. Another devision between users. Crabbers verses fishers :chuckle:

Really? I don't see any "waaaaing" going on. Just another knowledgable angler dealing with all the *censored* idiots out there. It's really discouraging these days how many clueless idiots there really are. :twocents:
please no profanity

what next ?
go on the internet and complain about the big boat wake, heck no you
deal with it, you see crab pots in your troll path, swing wide away from them.
I don't condone it or like it either, I just accept it and deal with it.

I'm interested in hearing how some of you think these type of things should be resolved when both user groups have a legal right to do what they're doing.
I don't think just saying it's a fishing spot means you get priority over the crabbers...... Although I'd rather fish.
Post by: Bullkllr on July 10, 2013, 01:48:51 AM
To heck with the several hundred fisherman in the spot who will have to fish around my sunken bouy/line. Who cares about them anyway? Ain't this 'merica?
Next I'm heading down to the Columbia- I like to troll right in front of the most popular plunking bars!

Some of you just don't get it. The line off a crab pot doesn't hang perfectly straight, I don't care how perfectly weighted it is, it's going to have a good angle on it especially in most of these productive spots. The straights can have 5 knots of current. If it was as simple as going around a buoy I would agree with many of you but it's not. That one person crabbing in a popular fishing spot could screw up hundreds of other people, and will probably still end up losing their pot then complain that someone stole it! This isn't about crabbers vs fishermen, most fishermen are crabbers and most crabbers are fishermen. You guys saying we are crying about this are probably the same guys coming on here complaining someone pooped in the middle of the landing in your favorite spot. Hey, they were there first! SMH.
