@flamedrag18 100 is the max for inshore I believe. Don't quote me, though, I'm still learning the technical stuff - I just do what I'm told on deck oh and cook =)

[flamedrag18]

@Ersabette how many trap do you have all together? 100?

[flamedrag18]

@Ersabette yeah, I had an idea you guys did that, we only have 18 traps altogether, 7 foot wide and hauled singly.

[Ersabette]

@flamedrag18 I think the difference is that we use a fleet of gear 30, 40, 50 etc pots to a string.

[flamedrag18]

@Ersabette it's about 10-15 miles outside cheticamp, NS, area 19.

[Ersabette]

@flamedrag18 You're right, 7ft is huge, I wasn't thinking there. Do you fish snow crab? How far out do you go?

[flamedrag18]

@Ersabette nope, I'm absolute sure they aren't. at most 3.5 ft in your video, have you ever seen a 7 foot wide trap? you can't throw them around like in your video, no one can, even a 6 foot or even 5 foot trap weighs around 150lbs, yours seem to me to be around 75lbs at most

[Ersabette]

@flamedrag18 Ah I see you're in NS, no our traps are larger than 2ft, actually they are about the same as yours.

[Ersabette]

@flamedrag18 You must be on the west coast? Different regulations for different areas I suppose.
