this stretch of river here in ohio must be a magnet for morons and just plain stupid people! so much that from now on i am going to refer to it as "the idiot pool" (same pool that myself and Salmonid have had previous run ins with idiot boaters)! went fishing yesterday in that stretch and spent the first 45min recovering a dozen "buoys" that the local university's rowing club had left behing since before the last good rain. first few i spotted were in the main boating channel just 8 inches below the surface and looked to be a submerged log at first all full of leaves. the first pic is one i actually took loose from the brick. the rest we just pulled up and and cut the rope right at the chain and let the brick and chain sink. i can just imagine what these would do to a lower unit!:sad2: luckily the water was like glass and i could spot the submerged ones. gonna check our boating laws and see if leaving behind buoys like that is illegal.
