  • No rock hoppers.  I just pull it on the sand and mud.

  • @ryanwerner8000 I am a recreational lobsterman in long island sound. i would love a net like that to catch my bait. where did you get it and how much?

  • @lisfish1

    Gordons Net Works in Brick Landing North Carolina. 700 dollars with doors and 100 foot of tow rope.  Tickle chain is seperate. That is a 26 foot net. Gordons makes all the nets for the local shrimpers.

  • First time i have ever seen a cheat line on a bottom trawl tail bag !

  • Walter Hughes showed me that. He is a commercial crabber in Calabash NC but had done some shrimping also. I have the recreational commercial gear license for NC which cost me 250.00 being a SC resident. I do it mostly to get bait for my fishing charters. I grew up commercial lobster fishing in Maine. Hard way to make it. Good luck. Ryan

  • It's called a lazy line on the Gulf Coast. Can't say i've ever seen that type of knot used to tie the bag. There's a much easier/faster way to tie and until the bag.

  • the cheat line is called a tag line and it easyer if the rope comes over the top of the net

  • Where do I start? I was raised on Mobile Bay, specifically on Dog River. My Dad and Grandfather took me out in a 12 foot Stauter Built with a 20 HP Evinrude and a 12 foot trawl many, many times. We drug Dog River Channel, Dog River Flats, Fowl River Flats and the west Mobile Ship Channel. I'm now retired, and I think back to those days when the shrimp were running and our freezers were full. You could drag for an hour and pull up around 20 ponds each time. God, I miss them and those days!

  • yes, a very hard way to make it , but what a life !

    Ps. thanks for the vid !

  • not a lot huh? where u from
