This Ghost Net will travel in any direction and Fish...
It wants to grab up to three Travel Bugs and carry them with the ghost net. After a little time, realease them to travel their own way.
What is a ghost net??? They are fishing nets that have been lost accidentally, deliberately discarded, or simply abandoned at sea. They travel the oceans of the world with the currents and tides continually fishing as they progress through the waters. As they are unattended and roaming, they fish indiscriminately, not only catching threatened species but undersized and protected fish as well. It is a real problem. In the old days the nets were made of twine and ropes. They would decompose after awhile. Now they are made of nylon which just goes on and on to fish for years and years.

I think we should place a large tax on new nets to help pay for old net removal.
