Engraving pots

 Found the value of engraving cray pots with your ID today, lost a pot off Hilary's last week in the minefield at the back of the reef. Gave up on it and was resigned to forking out 200 bucks for a new one.

had a call from fisheries today, they pulled spot that had had the rope cut and was tied to a life jacket.

they rang me as had the id on it. Said the vast majority they find don't have it so it's a good idea. 

Also if who ever tied off the rope to the jacket is a member, thanks very much good to know the majority of us are decent and do the right thing by their fellow fishos. Legend

nice to have more feedback that anyone who has pots engraved that the engraving of an id does work and helps get them back to owners

A $40 router is a good investment.

 Just pick up a cheap Ozito, GMC-or- whatever router from Bunnings, do it yourself. Will last you forever, mine is a GMC which was cheapest back int the day, used to do all my pro pots with it, still using it on my amateur pots now.

Hi

I think there was a post by someone on Crayfishing WA Facebook page about tying a life jacket on a cut rope.

 

Cheers
