| Re: lobster potting Michael, the article linked from Flounder Al's post above is excellent. As for weighting, you may find the collapsible type pots are not really strong enough to be used at anything over say 10 feet with the weights that would entail. They are perfect for Signal crayfish in freshawater though. Ours have a little pocket into which we put a bit of tinned dog food __________________ I am in shape. ROUND is a shape! |
