In some spots we do not use floats. If the bottom is sand / grass we string a few pots together and let em go. Mark the spot on GPS. Come back and use a graple on line to recover. Have not lost any equipment doing that. Now if I could come up with a way to prawn this way !!!
*OK - I'll bite. How deep are you fishing this way. I can see this maybe working @ 20 or 30 feet but we typically crab @ 80 or 100 feet. Can't see much hope of retrieval at that depth with a current running.
