keep the good ideas comming guys thanks alot 
oh! at 3.2-2.8 MPH speed |
You may be pulling a little to quick for a 12' net. You may be pulling the net off the bottom at that speed. When I was shrimping with a 40' trawl, I would pull about the speed you posted. On the bigger boats pulling for white shrimp they pull about 3-4 knots and about 2.5-3 knots for brownies.
Also, if you use a tickle chain on your net it may improve your catch.
