bug boat - brenda

This little craft rides piggyback on a much larger herring seiner. It is used to draw one end of the purse-seine net and then close it around the herring.

It's so cute, if that is the right description or a boat!
Never seen anything like this before

As Shirley says, a day never goes by without learning something new! Thanks for the shot and the info...

Just the thought of being in that little bug boat makes me want to toss my cookies! Love the colors and how it is cradled to show its working environment.

Well, learn something new every day! It sure is a cute little thing and probably good it is painted a nice bright orange in case it gets caught out in a storm huH? Do you live close to a lot of fishing docks Brenda? If I could get fish that fresh I might eat more. Do they get lobsters, and king crabs, etc.?
