Most under-rated lobster equipment and most difficult to keep...

A dry towel.

I pack 3 or 4 cotton towellets with me. I try to keep hands and work area as dry as possible.

Well... You just single-handedly tamped down my impulse to go buy some pro-mar this season

i'm still kind of winging the launch/landing as it is. Last thing I need is a blindfold and a ton of weight on the back of the boat!

I think I'll wait for the dive cert

Thanks for the share, btw! This is a great write-up and super helpful.

Don't let my experience deter you. I think there's ways to mitigate some of the downsides of my outing.

I'd be willing to try it again.

Just in a well lit launch/ full moon night should mitigate the launch/landing
Warmer Clothes
Bring washdown water for some of the gear.

Probably wasn't a good call on staying until midnight with work the next morning either.
