Dan. Do you have any pics or info about your marker bouy

The bungee line stopper could be made to work better. Maybe I'd just avoid the pvc altogether and keep a couple of buoys with set line lengths 60ft and 90ft, since I don't dive deeper than that. Sometimes you may want to have two of each, to mark the beginning and end of a wreck if necessary.

Sweet!

I like that set up. I have 4 markers on my boat set for the different depths we dive over here. 30 ft, 45 ft, 60 ft and 85 ft. I like having a marker like yours that deploys to the correct depth. I have tried the mechanical markers but have not had much luck with them. They always unwind too much in the seas and you end up anchoring the boat way off the spot. This system is spot on plus you can put a stringer on it to keep your fish if needed.

2lb is certainly enough. You may get away with less IDK.

Good looking marker Danny boy.:thumbsup2:

Cheers, Don

Is there a mechanism to hold the bouy on the PVC or does it shift back and forth? Actually it probably sits on the pvc pipe pretty snug doesn't it?

I was thinking of copying your rig for my flashers, really glad i ran into this Dan, cheers

It's snug, doesn't turn or move on its own.

I used 4lbs and sometimes that even moved in deeper water with current. I also used 1.75mm dyneema for line.

Does anyone here knows where to get those lobster floats detailed and at good price close to Broward County? I may ask a friend to bring me one.

Marco your long line fleets use thousands of them, check around by you

Thanks! I know that you can find them for 7$ on line, but the shipping for just one will kill me.

Marco I am saying that you can get them in Venezuela, saw them in purto La Cruz and your fishing trawlers and long line boats in Venezuela use them by the thousands, not sure about around Caracas though
