Put their number in your cell phone on speed dial if you don't have a radio.

When possible, drop your nets up current from structure.
If a lobster or crab wont let go of the net, set the net back in the water just enough to cover the bug. It will think it has a chance to escape and loosen its grip. In addition to your spare, tie a bobber to your gauge so if it does fall overboard you have a chance to recover it. Use your gaff (with the hook still covered) as a boat hook to grab line that is just out of reach.

JeffB suggested a plastic mesh product for use as a bait holder. I bought a $10 roll at Home Depot and it's 50'. Don't know how the seals will treat/thrash it but here are some benefits:
I was able to use more of my 1000 yards of the cheap arse China braid I purchased on EBay a few years ago...  Collapsible so the bug traps stack better on the yak without the rigid cages Easy to clip on/off...easy to bait up or empty out Stores easily so I can keep a few extras on the yak w/o taking up space Lays across trap bottom exposing more bait area for the bugs to go after 1/2" mesh allows water flow/blood/guts to spew the bottom... Already proven...  Jim
