dealing with trap line
« on: July 03, 2008, 04:39:40 PM »
OK - next car topper question!

I have 2 prawn traps - and I am kind of curious how everyone controls their prawn trap line on board? Is there a fancy home made roller to wind all the rope up as you raise the trap? and ideas would be welcome. I have been a musician for ages, and know what 45 feet of can can look like...400 feet of rope? ew.

thanks
Vince

Just dump it in a bucket or large Rubbermaid container it'll be fine, it piles on top of itself no worries, the problem comes when people try to get arty with a simple process. ::)

Keep gloves handy and remember Prawning is always much better in winter locally the commie season just ended so many places have been scraped clean.

Also-one of these makes hauling in all that line somewhat easier.
