i was just wondering........why dont you set the line from the back of the boat like surface longlining.......it looks like your using longline snaps so wouldnt setting of the back of the boat be easier??.....great vid though

@greatwhite1222 yea it would prob be easier but I just run the line out of the same block I use for lobstering so I don't have to change anything around on the boat. I only set out a few times a year in the spring for fun.

Yea I don't really do it to make money, just to put a few fish in the freezer =) I set them in the same area that I lobster so it's more playing than anything lol

Yea it's a state permit, sorry no videos of us hauling back

[yurchick8]

I didn't get one this year, my cousin had one so when we went outside the line we grabbed the trawls and went with him

@yurchick8 oh ok...that makes more sense....i wouldnt want to put all new equiptment on the oat either lol
