your contraption was fine until you put it in the water....lol

My son ordered one of those big rectangular nets on a frame that you hang in the current behind the boat. I think it came from down around Cedar hills. It didn't work up here on the Jacksonville area. Well should have known as we had never seen one being used. some one said the new shrimping laws outlawed them so it just hangs in my garage now. My back will not let me castnet anymore and dipping don't work here either. Don

I think they are still allowed but they can't be made of monofiliment, something like that , and of course there must be a current flow for em to work properly ...
I really don't keep up wth it, don't use em, never got interested in em etc, etc.
Ha, I've imagined getting a manatee in one = that'd be a night to remember ..LOL ...LOL ........

Them box nets are more trouble than they are worth. Bought one, used twice and left setting at sign above ramp at Oak Hill as a gift for someone. Pain in arse to set and catch everything including shrimp. Beachball size balls of crap in net to get a handfull of shrimp.
