Here is the setting: You're in your boat in a hogline or just anchored. A fish gets hooked that ya gotta go chase. Got the A-3 orange buey out on your anchor rope. Lets say you have 300 ft of anchor rope and only have 100 ft out, with 200 ft sitting in the boat.
Question: What is the best method to keep the 200 ft together so you can just toss it over and pick it up when you're done playing the fish?
History: I have tried keeping the extra in an old net with a float clipped on it with mixed results. Also have tried just tieing the extra up into a bundle.
What works for you guys? Hate to have 200 ft of rope streaming out away from the buey. Makes a mess picking it all up while trying to line back up into a hogline.
Any advice?
Thanks,
