Gotta weight them down. We have 4 pieces of rebar along the outside edges and a 4 lb chunck of lead in the center. kind of a pain to empty when they are that heavy, but we don't lose them. Also love the leaded line. 400' on each pot.

Post by: lokidog on May 09, 2011, 09:09:42 PM: Mine have a 15 lb barbel, 10 lb downrigger ball, 8 lb anchor, and a cinder block as weights. They still moved .2 miles with only a 1 - 1.5 knot current. Looking forward to Wed. slow current through mid day.

Post by: JKEEN33 on May 10, 2011, 10:23:17 AM: We have never had any issues with the shrimp pots, it's the crab pots that we seem to loose all the time. They have shorter ropes and we tend to leave them out longer. Hate loosing anything out there all the equipement is gettig expensive.
Title: Re: shrimp limits
Post by: lokidog on May 10, 2011, 11:00:18 PM: I found and returned four crab pots to owners last year and six or so the year before. Got a lot of thank yous, a bottle of wine, and got to keep two. One came all the way from Vancouver, BC.

Going out tomorrow, supposed to be rainy, hope the wind stays down. Good luck to anyone else playing hooky and getting out on the water. 8)
