Line Collection Container, System and Method
20220312750 · 2022-10-06 ·

A portable basket is used to collect multiple weighted lines that extend between a buoy and a submerged crab pot. The basket is a cylindrical structure with flexible sidewalls that extend from the top edge to a bottom panel. Attached to the inside surface of the basket near the top edge are at least two ring connectors. During use, the basket is positioned below a winch system used to pull the weighted line and the crab pot out of the water. The weighted line's first connector is detached from the buoy and connected to a ring connector inside the basket. The winch is then activated to weighted line falls into the basket and automatically stacked in a vertical coil configuration inside the basket. When the crab pot is lifted out of the water, the second connector is detached from the crab pot and attached to the second ring connector near the top edge. The process may be repeated to collect additional weighted lines. When setting a crab pot, the buoy and pot connectors from one weighted line are detached from the ring connector and attached to desired buoy and pot, respectively. The buoy, the pot, and the coiled weighted line can then be deposited into the water.
