The trawl net is to be rigged and kept ready in the fishing deck or in the net drum. Required number of floats should be attached on the head rope at regular intervals. Check the foot rope and tickler chain. The head rope and foot rope are connected to the bridles and sweeps which is then connected to otter boards. The winch warp line is connected to the other side of the otter boards through the brackets. Net is arranged on a stern part in such a way that codend part of the net should be on the top of the net for easy releasing. The open end of the codend should be tied by using self securing knot and keep ready for further operation.
