Trawling Environment
Choose the type of environment where you want to trawl.
Bridge
The Bridge Trawl is suitable to dangle off a bridge. Some of the design decisions to keep in mind are as following:
- The trawl has wight attached at the bottom to that it sinks in ( Preferably in the middle)
- The pull should be attached on the top (at the center or on the sides)
Boat
The Boat trawl is suitable to be pulled behind a motor boat, canoe, kayak, paddle boat or a sail boat! Some basic design tips are :
- The boat trawl needs floats on both sides of the mouth/frame
- The pull/rope should be attached at the middle of the frame for balance
Shore
The shore trawl is suitable to be dragged along the body of water. It needs to have a long handle for better grip.
**Ocean waves make this trawl difficult to handle, this trawl is well suited for rivers, lakes and streams.
