Sorry to hear about your gear, Chris. You were not the only boat to snag that 160 buoy on Sat. My buddys boat "Reptide" lost an X4 and a weight making a pass about the same distance. On Fri. we were catching kings and rainbows making similar passes around the buoys, but with little wind, and no problems. I'll pass this info to him about the USGS being the culprit. Thanks Longline, for that great explanation.
