ABSTRACT:
The apparatus is mounted on a deck of a boat and includes an elongated track with an inboard end and outbroad end disposed to at least the waterline for capturing a line having a float on one end and a subsea trap on the other end. A trolley is movably mounted on the track and a funnel-like guide structure is connected to the outboard end to direct the float and line, as the boat moves forwardly, to a capturing hook mounted to the trolley. Upon movement of the trolley inboard the float and line are drawn to permit a hydroslave pulley to pull the trap to the boat above the waterline thereby harvesting the catch therefrom and rebaiting same prior to returning the trap to the sea. A novel method of retrieving the subsea traps is also set forth herein.
