first guy gets it all wrong and hard, then watch the next....

These waterman Rodeo's are good fun among crab and cray boats in many small fishing communities, would this not be a great show and fun for our areas in the next two month dersmal ban at the end of the year???

problem is we have far too
problem is we have far too many fun police that would ban this and say it's illegal and promotes undafe water pratices etc,...
but would be a good thing to bond the Pro-fishermen and Rec fishermen in a friendly comp and show people what skills some of these skippers have.

They should try it with a breeze blowing you of the poles, an undercurrent going a different direction then the wind, and only then they will be able to match my ability..Hehehe

now now down kitty and out
now now down kitty and out away the claws...lol
remember most of those boats are still have a single prop on a shaft! not twins that are easy to swing around and do water dougnuts...lol
Anyone thats had a single shadt screw and rudder will know it's a dam side harder than a single outboard or even stern drive leg, as you need the water volume through the prop over the rudder to get things moving!

the old man used to have a 24ft wooden clinker trawler with tiller back in pommyland with the single shaft and big rudder. i remember it being nice and easy to dock . the rudder was that much larger that you didn't need constant power like an outboard to steer , just as long as you were moving.
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.
