Lowprofile...ARE YOU PHOOKIN NUTS...?
How about we go to your job and disable the machinery or computers there...?
These guys are out on the water trying to make an honest living...It's not easy and they have to deal with what Mother Nature puts out each season.
I hope you realize how rude and selfish that statement is...!!!!
Not to mention the DFW fine if caught doing that sort of thing...AND beware to the bouy cutter who gets caught by a commercial guy...who knows what he'd do to you!!! Maybe a scene from Pulp Fiction...!

COMMERCIAL lobstermen are worse than cormorants or sealions. There are more of them in the DP area than before, they are rude with attitudes and care nothing about kayak fishermen, they hog-up and saturate the inshore structure, they race around and don't care about their wakes or proximity to kayaks, and generally screw up the inshore fishing.

Making money should not become an excuse to be an A-hole.

No smilies here...

Hey. Just remember, they are trying to feed their families, make house and boat payments and earn a living. We, for the most part, are hooping for fun and relaxation (and a nice meal). We can get to places they can't in order to hoop. Cut them a little slack. They have 6 months to earn enough money to last the year.

I don't hoop but those buoys sure make finding structure easy! For example, last year there was a nice buoy line along the pipe, making it easy to stay on. This year I finally have a GPS on my FF so I'm ready to go out and mark all their buoy spots within kayak range for future use.

Sounds like a plan!

Before it died, I had all the spots in Dana marked on my FF. Gotta start over now.
