Strupag -

1/. Purse Trawl - traditional open mouth trawl, these days worked in the South East. Often as pair trawled .

2/. Also used in "stow" fishing, setting against the tide flow.

I see you have agreed the point on potting.

Sorry if I have hit a sore point on "Scotlands Oil" - I am old enough to remember the counterblast "It's Shetlands Oil"

I suggest that your efforts would be better served on stock conservation rather than bleating about the poor french fishermen who to a large extent were responsible for thier own problems.
