I do this for a living I've set thousands of trawls. We fished Jeffrey's ledge and the Eleven mile ridge in the gulf of Maine. Nice job gentleman. To the guy who asked how deep. we were fishing them between 60 and100 fathom this time if year might go as shallow as 40 fathom in early fall

[@Xxxx1169g]

How did you create the self shooting system? How did you make sure the rope didn't intertwine?

I fished on the 94 footer diamond girl for 6 years loved every minute best years of my adult life.

[@fundybastard2292]

ok...i swear....this is how NOT to run lobster gear off the stern of a boat !!

[@robeshd6536]

Fundy Bastard I know right! I learned the hard way my first time and got snagged by the rope last winter

[@georgehobel1907]

i was saying the same thing...unreal

[@Adam-vd4tn]

I've always wanted to trap , might have a chance to get on a small boat this summer , Newfoundland , my dad has a few friends that do it on a smaller scale lol , aluminum boat, heaped so high with traps , lol I hope I get too

[@darrellphipps9100]

That sure is a lot of rope !

[@lincqimiq5265]

Wow longer rope how deep ??

[@oelifrancis6027]

This is how I started shooting trawls off after I seen to many pots get snagged in places, pots last longer this way instead of letting them rip of the stack

[@margaritogomez9928]

How many miles offshore?

This is very inefficient and more dangerous for the crew setting trawls like this, who cares if the traps last slightly longer u can easily replace those not the men or the vertebrae in the fellas back doing this lmfao

[@joshuaalexander9688]

[@orionsgolfer]
