Im not a boaty ...yet lol ,,,planing on it soon tho.Anyway i always thought the200meter rule to.hey mully madness, ocean might be "free" , but yr supose to be considerate to all fishermen too, and their equipment. Ive tangled up befor on boats over the years,lost a bit of line and a few nice 5 meter lenghths of 1.8 mm wire hooks and 10 mm rope.i bet they had fun too. a recent capture of mine was a kite surfer at Henley jetty,this clown got tangled nicely and was on the beach pretty quickly. All just on a casted 6/0 45 lb line,8oz leadand an 8/0 hook.Took him 15 min to get untangled.
