I big tarp works.

I was just thinking.......
a big tarp stows easily and with balloons clipped around it would float better and
be easier to keep an eye on it

[willyworm]

That's neat. And obviously it works.

Over one mile of rope.

Lost on every large weather event.

I wonder why they couldn't add a few 55 gallon plastic barrel floats to the rope about 50 feet deep so that they could reuse the mooring line after the raft gets demolished.

The anchor is the key, that and several swivel shackles, so I've been told.

Seems that stainless cable with floats interspersed through the water column would go a long way to making that thing a little less of a pain in the ass.

Makes putting Christmas trees in the lake look like a piece of cake

Part of it. If it wasn't, there would be a floating hotel 67 miles off of Charleston where I would sell you bait all day long...

There was a lot of talk about buying the Frying Pan tower when it was for sale and making it a casino/whorehouse.

There was a thread on TheHullTruth years back about a guy who made his own fish aggregating device (FAD) by the books and compliant with whatever rules govern the ocean supposedly. He put a lot of thought, effort, and probably money into it. I can't remember if he ever reported how well it held up and how he did fishing off it. FADs are a big deal for some Caribbean fisheries from what I've heard.

Tripletail like scaled down versions closer in. Not sure who put them out, but they paid off when I stumbled upon them a few summers back.

Isn't it just easier to learn how to find fish?
