Thank you for your kind words glad you enjoy them. What kind of trawl is it fish/shrimp? So i can give you my best advice. What ground are planning on fishing on and are you fishing like i do or with a boat.
@@nwcoastalfishing2172 it's similar to yours on the video going to use for shrimp off the beach originally it had a solid bit of wood along the bottom which has rotted and snapped
Sounds like a push net that you have. You won't need a tickler chain as the wood on the botton causes a wave in frount of the net to kick the shimps up in the the net.
@@nwcoastalfishing2172 thanks defo a trawl the 'mouth' was a bit of wood at the bottom two iron up rights either side and bit of round wood along the top. It was tied on 3 points with the tow rope so it kinda righted its once under tow
@@andrewbunn775 ah i get picture now. It's like mine i've make a 5ft one as a spare. The wood is what keeps the net open and gives it the name beam trawl. I would replace it with 22mm box tube or less so you can atleast pull it. When doing the towing point, make sure all three points are the same 8ft, this is so the net fishes staight. You can put a tickler on it, with your net being 8ft you want the chain tickler at 7.5ft in lenth so that when fishing the tickler is just in frount of the main foot rope. I'll put a little video of my net so you have the best chance of getting it spot on.
Hi pal I'm after making a beam trawl like yours it looks like it can be took to bits could you possibly do a video of how it Connect together Also What size tube is it made from thanks lee
Hi Adam, thank you for your support and kind words. No i don't sell my catch i freeze it down as i eat a lot of sea food unless i need somthing for the shrimp net or nets.
@@nwcoastalfishing2172 Me to I love all seafood. I see the latest video its great, I see you kept the weaver do you deep fry them like white bait? the french love them.
Hi Adam, glad you like it i'am putting the shrimp net away until the shrimps start later in the year after that fishing. I have only tryed weaver fish after i have boiled the shrimps and it was nice i must say. I maybe i will i'll have ago at frying them. I only take the bady flats out if the weavers are big i take them out. I would loose fishing time if i took all the weaver fish out so i only take a few out. My boy had the Dover sole for his tea tonight so fresh and taste lovely.
@@adambundy2143 He loves his fish like me he's only 5, eats shrimps like sweets they charge silly prices for fish i won't give them the money. The boys that chat it get a get nothing for it.
Great videos, been given a 8ft trawl that needs some TLC what you thoughts on tickler chains etc?
