A bit of a highjack of this thread, but I have an old shrimp trawl (about 35 feet) and a couple of plywood boards that I'm willing to part with. The plywood boards need new runners and the net has one little tear the size of a football that's just easily stitched up. It's been in my barn for years. One could be dragging up some shrimp for under a hundred bucks. Lafayette/Rayne area. Interested?
