Abstract
An articulated fishing drum assembly especially adapted to be operated in a first lower operating position or a second upper operating position. The drum assembly comprises a pair of piston and cylinder actuating means to move a drum member from the lower to the upper operating position. Mounting members are rotatably attached to the drum member at its axis of rotation and to the sidewalls of a fishing vessel and define a pivot arc through which the drum member moves. A guide mechanism is provided for locating a fishing net on the drum member in an evenly spaced distribution when the drum member is in either of the upper or lower operating positions. The guide mechanism is movable between first and second positions such that a line drawn through the axis of rotation of the drum member and the guide mechanism will be substantially horizontal when the drum member is in the upper or lower operating positions.
