Yes, creels, or sunks as we call them, more likely called lobster pots down your way.
They are strung out along a length of rope, anywhere between 10 and 30 per rope depending on the size of the boat and the areas worked. They have a flag and float either end, you come along side the flag, put the rope into the hauler and work your way along, cleaning and baiting each sunk as you go and then stack them on the table then once all hauled you shoot them away again, sometimes the same place, sometimes you shift a bit.
Vid I posted in "The Green Cat" thread showing the hauling.
And one of them shooting away. This is the boat that I have been modifying in this thread. It has the davit on it in the video but now they are working in much deeper water they have decided to go for a roller system.
