Brainstorming

One of the problems encountered when crabbing was instability when I pulled the crab trap out of the water. There are all sorts of possible solutions. I could build an outrigger or attach floats to the trap itself. But then I thought of a simple idea – a stick connected to two bleach bottles. Somehow it would have to be connected to the deck of the kayak. Perhaps it could be out of the water and lashed to the deck until needed, then quickly connected. Would the bottles provide enough buoyancy?
