Automatic Gillnet Seetting Machine On Mike Leary’s Lori B
This highly innovative gillnet setting machine aboard the Lori B saves the work of two men. It is built on a frame with rollers and a swivel so it can redirect the nets from pens on either side of the boat. There is also a safety feature in which bungee cords will allow tension to save your arm from getting sucked into the machine if you get hung up on the net.
Video demonstration at 8AM

Stoga and State Of Art Gillnet Hauler Made By Spencer Carter
Behind Stoga is a high tech gillnet hauler. It is made by a company in the UK named Spencer Carter. It is the first of it’s kind that I’ve seen in Gloucester. Mike Leary, the boat’s owner tells me that there are only 3 moving parts to this gillnet hauler as opposed to 175 on the traditional haulers used by the Gloucester fleet. There was a guy who worked on the traditional gillnet haulers out of New Bedford but Mike also tells me he closed up shop.

Stoga Shows Automatic Gillnet Setting Machine
Here, Stoga showcases a new fishing industry innovation for gillnetters aboard Mike Leary’s Lori B. This hydraulic net setter eliminates the jobs of two men for setting the net back out on gillnetters. The machine automatically spreads the net and sets it with the hydraulic motor (highlighted with the yellow arrow). It glides back and forth to set nets from either side of the boat, port or starboard by gliding along the rails (highlighted by the black arrows).
Video tomorrow at 1PM
