Tow intended to help lend insight into sidescan signature; no apparent problems with gear Low catch numbers may indicate poor bottom contact; possibly not enough cable payed out; will attempt another daytime tow at this station Low catch numbers and

transect didn't include substrate of interest to sidescan analysis; will make another attemptThird and final attempt at a daytime tow at this station; trawl seemed to perform well No apparent problems with gear No apparent problems with gear Towed on incline;

bottom rose up about 9 feet; very low catch but included evidence of bottom contact (several jackknife clams) Low catch, but included benthic organisms indicating at least some bottom contact

Trawl towed well as evidenced by catch and wear on otter doors Very high biomass

caught including benthic organisms; tow seemed to perform well Seemed to tow well;

high biomass of catch included benthic organisms No apparent problems; a

prior attempt caught very little organisms, which was towed slowly and with the current; this tow was directed against the current Tow seemed to go well No apparent

problems with gearTow seemed to go well No visible problems with

gear; low catch rate but presence of benthic organisms indicates contact with bottom
