Lobster pulley
I recently got a tarpon 160 and am preparing early for lobster season. I did well out of my boat last season but would like to do it in my kayak this year. I have seen a lot of your guys innovations with pulley systems and have some ideas but id like some input. Do you guys have any recommendations with what works and what doesnt through trial and error. Since i have a narrow kayak it might make things difficult right or no? And some pics just cause

Unless you're planning on consistently pulling nets from 100' + of water I wouldn't bother with a pulley. Besides, it's just more crap that you'll be carrying on your kayak.

The scotty trap-ease puller's work great
and you can mount it on your skiff as well. This puller works particularly well with the ridged type nets like the Ambush, I usually bring one when pulling anything over 30'. The big advantage of the trap-ease is that it allows you to pull at a horizontal angle instead of vertical, giving your shoulders a break. http://www.kayakfishingsupplies.com/...-Puller/Detail |

I like that scotty mount and could probably build one but as you can see in the pics I have a scotty base right in between my legs in the middle. Would this spot work as far being tipsy

I've got one and it definitely allows me to pull hoops longer before I get tired.
Mines set up overhead: I like an overhead boom because you can pull the net completely out of the water with it, and I've lighted mine so I can see what's going on when I make my pull. One thing that's important is that you do not want the pulley to be too far out off the side of the yak. The further it sticks out the more twisting leverage it has an if you mount it way out it will try and pull you over. Mines up high but it's actually pretty much even with the side of the yak as far as COG is concerned. It's not about getting the net off to the side, it's about getting a mechanical advantage that allows you to pull faster and more often before you wear yourself out. Jim |
