Using a sand eel seine to collect bait for sea bass fishing. Due to some negative comments on here I would like to explain that this method of fishing allows the release of almost all the unwanted catch unharmed. Only the perfect size eels are retained for use. Also due to the type of net used no damage is caused to the environment.
very nice net. I think It will be better and easier with sinker in a rope ;-) I w'd like fishing in 30/40 ft deep water sardine, what dimension of this net do you suggest ? I have a hidraulic for my gill nets.
It's a standard sanded seine as manufactured by coastal nets uk. 8 foot drop and 35 yards in length. Bridle rigging to suit my local fishing ground. Hope this helps. www.coastalnets.co.uk ,
Colin, up to what water depths would you use this net? Not deeper than the 8ft right? Might sound stupid but I m planning to catch sandeels for the first time this way ;-). Thanks!
@@gordonpoppe3433 hi Gordon. You could use it from about 10 feet of water but the ground line needs to be pretty much on the sand to stop the shoal escaping.
