I used to trawl out of Rockefeller with my dad every year. Had a flat bottom and we just trawled parallel to the shore. Don't remember the size of the net. Had wooden boards. Hauled it in by hand and dumped it into a cleaning box situated over the middle of the boat with the ends hanging over the edges of the boat. Once the haul was all in the box, we'd start culling the haul. Once the shrimp and crabs were in the ice chest, we'd open the gates on the ends of the box and push out anything we didn't want and use a bucket to wash out the box. Had some good times. Good eating too!!
