    Anyone know why some of the bigger East Coast boats still do side-winding instead of stern trawling ?
    Re last comment I think it is  because some of the ground they work is very rough and they get snagged frequently (hoppers look a fair size!)
    It seems they get free easier as the boat can turn and drift back side on easier ,wi less chance o catchin the prop etc in slack wires etc.
    she on the rocks amble harbour few years
