Step 32Jug Buoy
Someones got a lobster trap or crab trap here in Boston Harbor, which might not be such a good idea.
Then again, maybe the 17 mile sewage outfall pipe from the Deer Island treatment plant has cleaned up the water enough.
Anyway the buoy is a handy trick. It's a detergent bottle with the potwarp (rope to the trap) tied to the handle. Appropriately, the brand name is "TIDE".

Another trick from the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" Up north don't forget to take your buoys in before the lake ices over. People back home use these to mark rocks and swimming areas and the like

Another use we had for bleach bottle buoys was to mark our mooring anchors. A light line fron the buoy could be grabbed with a boathook and your mooring line brought up to the surface

As a proud Oklahoman I see this any time I'm on a lake. We use it to Trot Line fish. Gather up all your old bottles, get some twine, buy a huge pack of leaders with hooks already on them. Once you get some minnows somehow you can end your day with more then your legal limit of fish. The only kicker is that you have to have an eye for where to lay your lines.
