[@geraldineaherne9763]

Thanks Andy stay safe and healthy.

[@bendee3972]

Thanks. Lots of interesting stuff. Be careful and stay safe.

[@MinorcanMullet]

Thanks, will do! MM

[@refinedhayseedappalachian9777]

Even a small trawler needs firm rig. Thank you for stretching out.

[@MrCrabbing]

Hi Andy just spent the last two days working on my net, new cod end, chafers, lengthener and mend some holes in the belly big enough to climb though by the time I had cut out the damaged net, its sixty feet on the footrope.

[@MinorcanMullet]

That’s almost 3x the size of mine! MM

[@MrCrabbing]

@@MinorcanMullet we work a 100 fathom of sweeps between our trawl and the trawl doors too

[@bukyekaiko3233]

Can I buy a net such as this alongside the Trawl doors? How can I contact you? I need this kind of net. And please, what's the Engine HP you use to trawl?

[@vigipersaud487]

Thanks to u how u explain this net I made one local and it work thaks

[@MinorcanMullet]

I'm happy to hear!

[@TheFoodBoat]

Very cool Andy! Was definitely curious about the turtle excluder, thanks for hitting on that!

[@ededmonds8792]

Thanks Captain Andy.😋 Shrimps.

[@refinedhayseedappalachian9777]

Midville, ga...

[@F84894]

cool

[@clifffiftytwo]

Thank you so much for this - I don't think I've ever seen an explanation of the operation of a shrimp net and hope to see your drone video when you produce it. I understand the bottom of the net runs along the bottom, is that correct? Does that mean there are areas or locations where you can't shrimp because of wrecks or snags?

[@MinorcanMullet]

That is correct. “Hangs” will ruin the net and your day! MM

[@refinedhayseedappalachian9777]

Midway is Brackville... With rail... Then up to me in johnson city. Then i can continue my family swim.

[@dickdaley9059]

Andy, any interesting comments from the fishermen dragging around the wreck site?

[@larrykeenan598]

Probably nothing printable. Too much damage from all the crap the nets are hanging on.

[@MinorcanMullet]

I haven’t heard of any one trawling over the site. It’s disappointing that the debris trawlers were sent home before the cleanup was completed. MM

[@dickdaley9059]

Thanks, Andy. I was concerned about this. The trawlers nets and rigging were going to get trashed if they stayed and dragged the bottom. But, it is surest way to know if the channel bottom is clear of hazardous debris. 🇺🇸⚓️

[@charleshowell7855]

I see the bait shrimp guys pulling similar nets here in Saint Marys.

[@MinorcanMullet]

Basically the same trawl. MM

[@refinedhayseedappalachian9777]

Get that seafood in my highland belly of ne tennesse.... Im gonna have me a boat.

[@railfan439]

There is a song from 1951 by Jo Staffordd, titled "Shrimp Boats." It's on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/b1dz1YRXdOA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video. Jon

[@MinorcanMullet]

Shrimp boats is a comin'! MM

[@ceciljones2695]

Looks like a mongoose to me

[@MinorcanMullet]

I wouldn't call it a mongoose. It's definitely a tongue net, but I have a mongoose now that was built by Burbank. The mongoose is much better.
