Had an interesting week with the traps. Last week we found a labelled floater last week, right on the langdale ferry path between gambier and bowen. It has been returned to is owner, perfect.
The following was all in the same day.
-Pulled up a chandelier with a set of nets, i guess the local cabin owners like to toss stuff off he bluffs?!
-Pulled my next set and it looks like someone had some issues with it. Not sure if they tangled with there own nets or somehow caught with their prop, either way the result was my line was cut and tied back together with a neat little knot. Thanks for saving my nets...thanks for splicing my 450 feet of rope...
-Came across two unmarked floats, one floating in 800 feet and another in a closed sponge reef area...
Would it be wrong to recover a floating trap that isn't marked? Seemed wrong to pull it, wrong to leave it...so i left it.
It was also a somber afternoon as the authorities where searching for a missing kayaker off of west van.
