I would still want to have at least a dory.

You could probably haul firewood on a motorcycle, too  :lol:

If you need more capacity, you could tow a small raft.

Sport limit is 80 spot shrimp per day per person.  No nets.  Pots must be minimum 1" on ceter spacing for the mesh.  Ones I got  are 24" square, 9" tall.

I know a guy that carries hay on a motorcycle. I've seen him with 2 bales on the back.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

At 50-70 pounds per bale, that is about the weight of one girlfriend  :lol:

I assume that it wasn't two ~1200# round bales  :O

Not that hard, really.  Let's say when I get to the bouy they're on the port side.  Pick up the bouys and toss them over the starboard side.  As the line comes up keep feeding it over the starboard side and just let it trail out.  After the pot is up and emptied start bringing the line back in, coiling as you go.  Store in or on top of the pot.

Shrimping ain't easy, but it's necessary...

I thought they were legal as long as you only filled them with 700 lbs of hay?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

350 Chevy running through a Merc sterndrive. 24' converted pleasure boat. That superstructure holds a homemade winch powered by a big ol B-17 starter motor.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I was hoping it was big enough to run one of my marine engines. 24' is just a little too small.

We're shooting for bigger! Dad wants a 50 footer with diesel powe. We could handle something like a Yanmar 4 cyl diesel in our current size boat but I dont know about mating to the sterndrive or actually finding one for a reasonable cost...

I'm going to use that logic next time somebody asks us why we don't buy round bales instead of small squares  :lol:

The real reason is that the small square bales are much easier to store and feed for just 2 or 3 horses.

Yeah, my engines are more typically used in 90-175ft fishing. Bottom of the range is ~1200hp, largest version is ~3400hp each. I don't think the top range, larger engines are used in fishing. I think those engines are mostly used in tugs, crew, and passenger boats.

Definitely a little too much motor for a kayak  ;)

So are we talking about real shrimp, or is "shrimping" some kind of preverted sexual euphemism?  (I probably don't really wanna know)
