Mr. Flinn,
Sorry to hear about your net, I was on KY waters however don't know if it was the one I ran into. I am glad this has raised awareness all around concerning these nets. In the future I will try to avoid these areas, however I believe they can be marked better and maybe have a larger red buoy with some kinda marking on it. Anyways, hope your research goes well.

Thanks for all the info. Thanks Paul for all you do for us. Can't wait till crappie camp to meet Professor Flinn. I like the idea of using large red buoys with some advertisement. Why use gill nets?? I think a trawler with the right size net you could harvest all you want!

I don't believe "RED" would be the color to use. Red is used in navigation and if it caused someone to mess up there might be some liability involved. I don't think the USCG would go for it either.Originally Posted by ifish

Neither RED or GREEN would be good colors as both are used as channel markers. Not trying to nose in Whiskers but aren't they?
Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer!

Cautionary Buoys
◦they mark an area where mariners are to be warned of dangers such as firing ranges, racing courses, seaplane bases, underwater structures or areas where no safe through channel exists and of traffic separations.
◦they are coloured yellow
◦they display identification letters
◦if it carries a top mark it shall be a single yellow ‘X’ shape
◦if it carries a light, the light shall be yellow and flash once every 4 seconds
