forrest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 they are not lobster traps. At $5 a piece they are your gold but someone else's garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverowbotham Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I agree that marker buoys are for temporary use. I always pic kthem up when I'm done. I have a GPS and 5 marker buoys. If I saw one out there with no one around, I would have 6 marker buoys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Doctrt: That's why you should park the truck against the trees, away from the ramp at the Maclean Lake launch. You should see some of the people that 'try' and launch a boat there, it's horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greencoachdog Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 you can be upset... but I promise you if I found it wrapped around my prop... I would be PRAYING you had your name and number on it... a quick reverse lookup is all that would be required... you're putting other people in jeopardy by leaving them out... If I would have seen them... they would have been thrown ashore. Yeah, that's the main problem with tillers... you can't see where you're going. In a perfect world, those markers should have set there all season... but guess what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 There's an old saying. Finders keepers, losers weepers. No offence but if you leave your stuff out there unattended in this day and age, you should expect it to be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacklebuster Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) Not only is it dumb, reckless, and inconsiderate to leave those marker bouy's in the water overnight, not to mention for two days, it might even be illegal...so it serves you right. Hopefully you learned your lesson...but thats not likely either. Edited June 11, 2008 by Tackle Buster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerGuy Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Shouldn't leave those little marker bouys for fishing over night anyways.. not on any lake especially one as busy as Gloucester Pool. For 2 reasons 1) YOUR GIVING YOUR SPOTS AWAY LOL! (Sorry couldn't help it) 2) It could get caught in somebody's prop and do damage OR a animal could get caught up in it. I would tend to think someone trolling snagged it. I wouldn't throw it back in if I snagged it either I'd keep it. Sorry man.. just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cram Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Anyone who leaves them out overnight (or when their boat is off the water), especially on Gloucester pool, deserves to lose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Leaving them out overnight sort of implies you own the lake...them disappearing is gods way of letting you know its a public lake. I find marker buoys helpful, I have loads of them, didn't know people bought them...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) I fished Gloucester last year (parked at McLean Lake) and returned to find my front bumper had been creamed by someone. No note, no nothing left. Just a $600 repair bill. Of all the posts,this is the real loss. That sucks bud. Edited June 11, 2008 by misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oncogene Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) i duno... u left something out in a public area for 2 days.... shouldn't be surprised it's gone The person(s) who took it may think s/he's doing a good thing by taking away the junk that somebody was too lazy to remove after fishing.... who knows.

Gerritt Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yeah were horse's asses because of you're serious lack of judgement... It is always easier to blame others then to look in the mirror... You screwed up, someone cleaned up after you.. Take you're lumps and move on.. but you are instead trying to start a riot.. Claiming theft... When infact I think that the person that did take you're markers was a Good Samaritan in my books... cleaning up the mess you left behind. Please do me a favour.. leave a high end rod and reel in the water time.. so it is worth our while picking up after you. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
