The crab pots all over the Bay and rivers.....like a friggin minefield
Pots are expense. Nobody sets a string in a heavily traveled location, let alone a marked channel. Stay in marked channels and it's not a problemThat and lobster pot bouys can really ruin your day.
Do you drive at night?
The probability of an accident on the way to a grocery store is far greater than running a boat at night in the ocean.
You would be surprised at the number of āboatersā with a water phobia. Really kicks in when the beach drops over the horizon.
Inland lake at night ā¦ been running it for 50 years. Know it well. Fisherman are decent, have anchor lights off at night but as soon as they hear a motor the lights are on. Some of the best fishing on our lake is at night, and a moon lite, starry night is a thing to behold from the water. I take precautions, but am on the lake as much at night as I am in the day ā¦

Once I had my Cataract Surgery, Night Driving was much EasierAutomobile driving at nite is getting worse for me, especially if it's raining at nite.
Shipping containers are not sealedā¦.. they sink pretty quickly.Ocean objects ? How about hitting that big floating shipping container. Just below the surface. You will be looking for your teeth in the dark.
They are probably filled with Chinese made life jackets !!The ones in the big Pacific Ocean cesspool float.
Ha, good one! Apparently around here the middle of the channels have the most crabs. Also, the tubing is way better.Pots are expense. Nobody sets a string in a heavily traveled location, let alone a marked channel. Stay in marked channels and it's not a problem
Here in Lake Erie they keep the nets out of the channel but they often set them in the common routes taken by sport fisherman to get to the various markers we use on the water where fish gather. The flags are quite small as are the floats. Often you find yourself in the middle, surrounded by nets going in various directions. It can become a puzzle trying to figure a safe way out !Ha, good one! Apparently around here the middle of the channels have the most crabs. Also, the tubing is way better.
Some friends once had their car shipped from France and they lost that container over the side.Shipping containers are not sealedā¦.. they sink pretty quickly.
USCG issue a notice to mariners when an event occurs.
