    wallyfly got a reaction from Old Scaley in Smoking fish - who does it?   
    I use me very ancient hot smoker with hickory chips and a methylated spirit heater. Brined fish, fresh or saltwater species, honey or brown sugar marinade, 9-10 minutes and its done to a T. Smokers are available from good tackle shops. The smoke chips are the real secret. Enjoy. Tight Lines. :cheer: Ian M

    We then have to attach the lid using the shock cord and another clip made from the copper wire.

    Cut the shock cord slightly longer than the height of the pot and tie a double knot in one end and thread it through the frisby then the clip and back through the frisby and tie another knot.



    Then melt a hole in the other end of the pot placing the hole at 90 degrees to the weights and take another length of shock cord and knotit and thread it up through the pot and through the hole on the lid.
    Pull this cord as tight as possible and tie a knot in it and trim it off.



    Completed pot.

    I burn my name ( Pity I cannot spell it) into the pot with the soldering iron .I also burn my name into the float ( Helps preventing people thinking that they are their pots.)
    I have lost a couple of photos where I initially attach the mesh to the frisbee so I will take some more tomorrow night and update.
    I did make some pots out of galvanised gutterguard and they were a lot easier to make but they are starting to rust out after only 2 months in NPD, If you can find some 250 mil begonia saucers they are a lot easier to make up and use less gutterguard and catch just as well as the larger frisbee pots.
    Happy shrimping.
    Cheers
