Saw a slick trick with a dredge pump in Mobile Bay last week

The crew on the 'Delta Queen' had rigged a simple screen from a piece of expanded metal over the suction intake. It was catching a ton of debris before it could jam the impeller. Anyone else use something like this for shallow water work with lots of trash?

Always thought that was overkill until I saw it work.

Funny how one good result can make people ignore all the times it fails. Most of the time that extra step is just busywork for no real gain. Seems like we're all just chasing that one time it worked and calling it a win. Bet if you tracked it, the success rate wouldn't be worth the effort.
