I always shake my head when I see folks buying them from there.

Where is the best/cheapest place to get a trawl?
Craigslist if you don't mind used
If not try Gus'
Can you pull a 25' trawl with a 16' flat? I have a 16' and a 25', if I can use the 25' I wouldn't mind springing for the more expensive license.

tooth brush story, believe it or not shrimp are actually poisonous. When you are healing and you're trying to get them out of the net there would stick you with their tails and their horns. When they do this they're going to inject that iodine poison into your hands and your hands are going to swell up. Next time you run into a deckhand on a shrimp boat take a look at his hands and you'll see that they are always swollen. I used to work some summers a processing plant in Biloxi and even working with them when they were dead we still got stuck all the time and her hands swell up ridiculously. We would soak them in very hot water with Epson salt and a dozen drops of iodine to get the swelling down. It was weird is you could literally see the iodine, come out of your hand in the little purple streams. also be very careful of the mantis shrimp a.k.a. rock shrimp a.k.a. knuckle buster as they pack a mean whallop.

It only has happened a couple times, but damn I couldn't make a fist for a couple days. I can't pull off shrimp if I'm making clean pulls and they are 50 count and better. But one of those times i couldn't close hand we'd hit a pod and boat would slow. We split up 75#s each of 27 count or better.

They also carry some pretty unsavory bacteria if you stuck with the horns.

Piss on your hands after you finish trawling. Acid in the piss takes care of the iodine. Works every time...

Piss on your hands, yeah I have heard that works too, the little things are tougher than you think, I always take the horns off of live shrimp and barbs off cats, and pinfish because I have seen them stick big fish trying to eat them. Watched a damn pinfish fin up on an 80 pound cobia one time and he spit that sucker out before I could set the hook and swam away like a baby, saw a shrimp bust a decent trout one time too, so don't believe it when they say they cant do that

I think I'll start out with a 16 foot net because it's only $25 to upgrade the license. I got a quote of $500 for a complete new trawl setup, so it can be kind of expensive. I have a buddy who talked to me about giving me his setup because he wasn't using it any more. That's what got me thinking.

I got my net for $100 on Craig's list a couple years ago. A buddy gave me the boards and we made the tickler.
