I have a baitboard to which I have attached a set of pockets to hold, grippers, knives, dehookers, long nosed pliers and scissors and do ask my crew to put items back in their as otherwise the hardware gets covered in blood and slime and the occasional loss of a knife or four (at last count). Went out last weekend with a new deckie to assist as had the managing director with me and I needed to ensure some one else had a line in the water while I looked after her. I went through the routine with him, Life jackets there, Flares Vsheets etc there, over the side if his farts smelled - you know the new chum routine including put all hardware away and do not leave them on the baitboard. I even told him that I don't like my knives covered in crap and that every time some one leaves one there I inevitably loose it.
Sure enough the missus catches a fish, I bring it aboard and gently hold it onto the baitboard and it flips its tail - what the hell was that yellow thing that just went flying, yep another knife disappears into the deep blue depths.
I have lost prescription sunnies, car keys, knives but not much else, what have you lost.
