Ideally they should have similar markings, large enough to be easily seen, and lastly with pieces of reflective tape to be seen with a spotlight during the night or lowlight dawn/dusk situations. I will gladly be pro-active in sighting and avoidance of netting areas but it helps to see them in time to correctly react.

In closing, my primary concern is safety for all. Any time spent bending over water, outside the side plane of the boat hull, increases the chance of an overboard situation that could result in a drowning or stress induced stroke/heart attack. We all should have pdf’s on when being in these situations.

Prior planning produces positive results.
