Soaking the gore ropes on the sides of the cod end
Shrinking it
keeping a few fish alive and fresh. maybe.
or keeping the net from drying out. give me my omlete!
Give my breakfast to Paul if I win. But I want eggs and linguicia with sweet bread.
Obviously I’m not a fisherman – and I need to be educated: what is a cod end? I was looking so close at the picture for half a fish…
I’m with you Mandy, I was looking for the same thing – no breakfast for us.
that was put there as a remembrance of the good old days when the ocean alliance research boat odyssey was tied up alongside and sam entertained us with all of his sea stories. miss you sam and hope to return to gloucester one day soon to see you and all the others there at the railway. all best, john
ps breakfast is on me!
checking to make sure it floats properly so when its used it allows for fish to enter. i want an omelette too.
He’s soaking it in order to make an accurate measurement of the mesh size.
BILL OCONNOR GETS FREE BREAKFAST FROM SAM NOVELLO
he’s reshaping, stretching and getting the debris out of it
Ok last guess, he is getting it ready to be donated/recycled.
not a clue…enjoy your breakfast who ever wins, but please post the answer so I can learn…thanks
Let’s see, the Cap’s a hipster and it’s a new net but no hipster fisherman would be caught dead at sea with a net that doesn’t have that weatherbeaten look. I see some skinny jeans hanging off the end getting the same treatment.
I’ll have a Mamie’s Kitchen coffee roll with homemade linguica on the side, thanks.
Making chum.
Reshapping it
