We are anchored in an ox bow off a main channel with 100' of chain out and this guy drags his net over our rode and anchor 3 times. It did not foul and who knows maybe there is not much chance of it doing so. I have never used a net so I did not know how they are configured. I did not say anything to him but on the third pass my wife went to the bow and pointed to the anchor chain. He responded by saying that it was not a problem and he knew where the anchor was. He did not know how much rode we had out so he may have assumed he knew but assuming is not knowing. On the first pass he was right off our bow so he had to know that he was crossing our rode.
Later after the third pass we saw him pull up his net so I could then see how it was pulled. It had a large weight on the front almost like a pallet (I guess to hold the bottom of the net down and then there were two lines that attached high to hold the top of the net open. After seeing the weight that was being drug on the bottom I am surprised it did not snag the anchor rode.
