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!

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
