The cluster of boats on Saturday is because it's Halibut season, which runs Thursday through Saturday.Jan K wrote:Yes, it was Saturday - Keystone - a mad place of boat trailers, boats, cars, pickups, fishermen, divers and tourists . Yesterday, on Sunday - not a single boat launched or trailer parked at Keystone. And I was the only diver in the morning. Go figure.
And yes, they are supposed to stay out of that area, but it keeps happening in spite of posted map and instructions.
Great point, I've bailed out of a dive site because it had fisherman on it, I think my first two times at Possession Point were scratched for those reasons. I've also moved defensively (with a flag up) on a site where I had divers in the water and people motored right up and dropped their lines. Usually I start barking at them.Plus1 wrote:
