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. Do a web search for more information. About this item: When fish get stuck in the Ghost Net they attract other fish that get caught and attract more fish. It is a very bad cycle of death.

How much is this bad boy worth? We might just have to take it to a pawn shop or something!
The brick was getting lonely in the great white north (as most TB's do in the UP over the winter!). Will move along soon.

Finally found a cache big enough for this one. I put the brick in its very own plastic bag to keep the silk bag😉 it is in from getting wet...
