thejollysinker Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 So, on our way back from our last trip out the other week we wanted to have a couple of drifts over the Galicia (a small wreck a couple of miles out of Teignmouth) but found there were a shed load of buoys around the whole wreck, top to bottom, side to side, some with flags.... never seen that before 🤷♂️ Is this what a netted wreck looks like and if so, is it safe to travel between the buoys? Picture was the best I could manage trying to get the whole lot in frame and it was getting a bit sloppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I’ve always been told that the nets are well below the surface, but if I can I do go around them just in case the people that set them didn’t read the same thing as me. thejollysinker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollysinker Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 I would hope they were but I didn’t fancy weaving in and around that lot anyway so stayed well clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest are probably pot buoys, but will have a ton of rope on them. Last time I was there (July) I gently went between the buoys, but there were a lot of semi floating ropes, so I had to be very careful. Not exactly what I would call relaxed fishing. To leave that gear there all summer, they but be catching a lot of Lobster & Crab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejollysinker Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 They must be getting something out, or, desperation has set in because everywhere else has been overfished🤔 glad I stayed out of it and it’s a shame as I had managed a few Bass in the autumn last year. Doubt I’ll venture over it again, waste of fuel…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
