what is your cable ratio?im running around 3/1.so if were fishing 100ft we got 300ft of cable out.and u want the dredge to run nose high like that?ive been told u want some shine on the nose.how many tickler chains r u running and what size is the dredge?your setup seems to work very well.awsome vid!
I have been scalloping full time since 1976. I have worked with dredges 10ft to 15ft. The wire ratio was a little greater than 3/1 and we were using 15/9 ticklers. I was always told and assumed that the gooseneck and cutting bar should shine. I was completely surprised when I first saw the video and either one had very little interaction with the ocean floor. I am surmising that the shine is caused by little mounds that you see scattered about the bottom. Good luck. Kenneth Ochse.
I wish that he could replicate this exact tow and dredge set up today. The difference in the seed would astound you.
wow, that really just destroys the bottom for everything

Barbaric fishing that ruins the whole sea bed.

The new turtle dredges the cutting bar and the bull plate don't shine on them when you tow them
Scallop dredge, not a trawl.
How many knots are you towing?
