    NO --- caught these with my throw handlines but getting everything together for trotline.  
    Got everything needed for trotline except for galv. chain and need to  make my snoods.    
    Snood making stuff from Capt. Bruce arrived UPS yesterday.   Using 5 gal  (yellow)  
    diesel jugs from Walmart for my floats.  Already had anchors (18 lb. tri flue river anchors)  
    and going to use about 18" chain on anchors.  Prop stick is finish.  And plan on making
    a net with galv. chick'n wire like I saw on the forum.

Six dozen crabs from handlines is a mighty nice haul.
