Hey all, we dropped a couple of lobster creels on our way out of Amble Sunday 8th and when I returned to pull them Tuesday 10th - not a sign despite scanning the GPS coords.
The post were marked with white 25l can painted orange with a few stars (!) and marked with a white plastic flag with the name of the boat and the NEIFCA number on it (Silver Star - LSP694). A smaller 5l can (again painted orange with a star) was also attached.
This was the first time we've dropped any pots - so with the decent swell there was Monday/Tuesday with the easterly winds, there is a chance that I've arsed up my rope weight calculations and they've drifted off.
I'd be grateful if anyone spots them to let me know - just for learning's sake more than anything else!
