Title: Marker Buoys
Post by: StarBoard7 on September 15, 2011, 06:27:41 PM
Hello all,

Anyone have any preferences when it comes to markers for Lake Eire? (15-40ft)

My cheap standard ones just don't seem to hold when the winds picks up and I have actually lost a couple weights already this year.

Any tips?

Thanks

If you really want to mark your spot, use an old 10 pound weight from an old dumbell set, 200 pound test nylon rope, and milk jug. I guarantee it will stay put.

Or a duck decoy? ;D Some people even use fake gulls!

I use a larger dumbbell type marker sometimes with about 5 ounces of weight on the end. I do the same thing with regular 'H' type markers when I'm near the shipping channel in St. Clair.
