Thinking about it, it may have been a day I had no money for diesel for the big boat, so gone out in the punt and fished some shallow rocks with crab. Fished the tide in and ended up with about 8 to 10 fish between 4 and 9lb. If it is, those two would have been the two biggest, the largest would have been 9lb god knows what the other weighed. All I know it give me wages and diesel for the large boat.

I tried answering you earlier but the wife's laptop kept crashing every time I started to type.

That was the yard at the top of the garden where all my fishing gear was stored. Do you like my flaking bars? (the down pipes) Work a treat. spread them out about 3ft apart sheet underneath to catch the droppings, slowly pull the net over and the odd shake would clean most nets of seaweed. Even 2 week old crabs would drop out

She was a 28ft double diagonal Teak on Oak displacement hull ex lifeboat. Before I bought here she was doing day trips around Caldy Island. I stripped her to a hull and built her for netting, potting and beam trawling for pot bait. She had a 3ltr BMC engine with a marine gearbox and would comfortably pull a 30 ft otter trawl.

ahhhh i have just bought very nearly the same boat! a 60 year old ex clinkerbuilt lifeboat with a ford d series marinised engin..... only its a wreck of a thing and will be pulled to bits for scrap and firewood.....note to self look more closely at a boat before you buy!

 

i have a scaffholding plank with a 6 ft bit of alkatheane set into it as a hoop for a flaking bar......like you say leave a net in a pile for a couple of weeks and even dabs will fall out of it
