Re: SD Arrows: What is it?

Common throughout the gulf region. They are fish traps, basically walls of netting supported by poles which guide the fish to the arrow head where a holding pen with wedge shaped entrance keeps the fish trapped but alive untill the fisherman can collect them. I surveyed many of these areas in the 80's & 90's by boat and ruined several propellers hitting the damned things at high tide when we couldn't see them properly!
