Yep, I use one like that. Gives me a nice place to set stuff or sit.
I like Doryman's idea, though, of mounting something off the deck that could be operated close to the puller. _________________ Rick & Shirley

She works full time and goes to school part time, so free time is limited. I may be soloing it.
And I know she has a bikini somewhere.  _________________ "We can go over there...behind the 'little one'....."

I think you might lower your odds of getting her on the boat when she sees you've got laundry baskets on board.  _________________ Roger on Meant to be |

Leaded line is for crab pots when you're only handling it in 75' coils.
I just use 5/16 3 braid polyprope clipped together in 200' lengths and
clip a 2lb sinker on the last 100' to sink it.
I store it , on hose reels, but when I'm pulling it lays in the bottom of the boat. Wear gloves and long pants....Jellyfish on the line are a bi@ch!

I also dont use lead for the whole 400ft. I like a 300ft run of the yellow topped off this 100 ft of lead core to keep the line under water. I also like to clip in a 2 to 4 lbs weight ten ft from my pot to keep the bouy from bonceing the pot. this is the most important tip for catching shrimp. If your pot moves the shrimp will not enter or will leave. either weight the pot down, 20lbs at least, or 10 lbs in the pot and more on the line. in high tide/ current movement you want 40 lbs in the pot. |

My pots weigh about 30 lbs each; commercial pots from Dungeness Crab Works in Everett. How do you deal w/ one line to another when it's run through the puller? I would imagine the shackle or knot would create a stop in the line as it runs through the pulley. |

There's enough clearance around the pulleys of my puller to allow the knot or carabiner to pass through. |
