The Snohomish County Marine Resources Committee is sharing these tips to help you catch your limit each time:
- Add weight to your pot (so it is less likely to be swept away by strong currents)
- Know if the tide is rising or falling (so you have enough line)
- Know the direction of the current (if your pot is swept away – you’ll know which direction to search)
- Use longer line (in case your pot is swept to a much deeper location by the current)
- Use a additional high visibility buoy (in case your pot moves or if the water gets rough)
- Avoid high traffic areas (so your pot isn’t snagged and towed off)
