Trouble with fishing buoys
This year I've had more trouble with fishing buoys than ever before. It seems like half time they don't want to unwind or they get hung up about halfway down. I know most of the companies that make these try to get by with as little weight as possible.
I've tried adding weight by using a 2 oz. sinker in addition to the weight already on there. It still wouldn't hold so I added an additional 3 oz. sinker to that which should come to about 6 ounces.
You would think that would do it and sometimes it does. Usually when I tried that the marker would disappear in the water and wouldn't come back up until about 30 seconds later if I was in really deep water. (25-30' or so ) Sometimes in would hang up and wouldn't come up at all and I've seen some come back up 15-20 minutes later which can be really frustrating as when it finally does come up, it shows the next guy where your spot is.
I know this happens a lot because of the line they use wants to tangle up. I've tried switching it out and used 65 lb. test braid but still have the problem.
If anyone has a solution or knows somebody that sells a good fishing buoy please let me know. I've probably lost 5-6 buoys this spring. Been buying most of mine from Bass Pro or Walmart. As you can tell, I've been getting more than a little frustrated with this.
