Another reason not to discard line or tackle in the ocean..

We've done that Manta Encounter. A top ten life event for sure. I go out of my way to get trash off of the water every trip. Maybe we can have a clean up day in the future.

We should have a clean up day or weekend. I do my part every time I'm
Out to pick up anything I see out there. Please everyone do
The same and don't add to the problem.

A few years ago I was doing a boat delivery and one of my crew members was un-spooling a 70 wide, I'm thinking he's just going to re-spool the line. The next thing I see is a reel with no line(about 1000yds). He had cut off the line !. I raged and he no longer crewed with me again......what a dumb F.

Its not just fishing line.......plastic bags(shopping & garbage), potato chip bags, pieces of wood, foam cups, can of whip cream, hard hat, plastic bottles. If it floats and I see it I'm picking it up.

There are plenty of douche bags littering on the water...but there are waaaaaay more on land fouling things up for our oceans. Any little bit we can do is something.

I always come back with little bits of random things that I find, mostly plastic wrappers, although I collected a beer can in SD Bay once.
