re: Opening Day Trawling

I’m venturing out this weekend to give it a shot. This will be the first time to do it without an experienced person on bored. Gonna be exciting if we can actually catch a few.

Question on pulling the trawl, the boat we are going in does not have tie off points in the middle of the boat. That’s what the other boats I’ve went in had. Ive also tied to the very front before as well and just bridled the ropes so that they don’t go under the boat while turning. Can you pull from the very back effectively?? I figured tying the ropes to the front was for better steering and allowing the net to open better.
