Net Making - Fishing Net - How To Make Your Own Fishing Net
In this video I show you how to make your own fishing net. I will demonstrate how to load a netting needle and then how to determine the depth of the fishing net. Once the depth of the net has been established, the net is then made by adding more netting to the desired length.

@johnsimms818 3 года назад

I'm 75 years old and this brought back memories from childhood. it was always the little ones job to load the needles.pop used to buy pre made nets ,the needles were used to sew the net to the larger cords that held the corks on one cord and the lead on the other heavy cord and this creates the gill nets. we also made our lead weights. Thanks for the trip back to my island home.

I really do love the fact that many knots or knotting projects, bring back fond memories! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Thank you so much. Unfortunally my father passed away before pass it on this native family tradition for me, he was the last of a kind. Fortunaly RU-vid have people like you!!! I'll make my first net now.

@lozhayton7391 3 года назад

I'm hear for that exact same reason, I inherited my dads house and for year and years when painting round the door frame in the kitchen I was reminded of him netting with his needle and mesh board by a single screw in the top of the door frame

@Reaper-td7nf 3 года назад

So sorry about your loss. My mom and Dad passed in 2011. I remember he would weave turtle baskets. It’s so bad they have to leave us but that’s just the way it is. Hope they are in a better place. If I get this down I’m going to teach my grandsons so maybe they can keep it going and not let it die out like so many other things. Good luck netting.

@ML-ks2lj 2 года назад

Never take em for granted. Don't be like me. Ask the questions now learn about your bloodline! Learn it and carry it on! That's the one thing I regret in life is not asking my grandparents those questions and not spending enough time with them. Cherish every eternal moment because it's the only real time we have, the moments.

@njord47 2 года назад

Thank you very much for showing this. I am Fisherman and learned it, but you actually explain it better than my teachers did.^^ One step i would like to mention. If you fill the needle with yarn, do not rotate it in 360°. Rotate it 180° and than back. Othrwise it will create loops to the yarn and meshes.

@KnottingKnots 2 года назад

Many thanks for that tip Njord, as you can tell, I am not a fisherman!! 😉 😉 😉

@KnottingKnots 16 дней назад

Every time you use that netting needle, you will be not only making a net, but creating new memories! Also as you create the net, your mind will wonder back to when it was last used. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

@howiegreene8018 4 года назад

That netting needle’s proper name is a “Fid” or fisherman’s fid. My father was a commercial fisherman who fished the Grand Banks and George’s Banks back in the 1940’s & 50’s. I was a kid back then when he showed me how to make & repair a net. He was so adept at it that he would only use his fingers as a gauge for his left hand with the fid in his right. Great video. Brings back old memories.

@rosanneschiedel5559 Год назад

Thank you so much for renewing my memories of net making with my Dad. I am 69 years old now and have wanted to remember how to do this. Dad was a Captain on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, Virginia and became a Master Pilot Tugboat Captain for Humble Oil. Wow, that goes back a bit doesn't it? He stayed with the company through all the changes and retired from Exxon years back. We made hammocks, nets for fishing when that was still allowed and had great times together. Bless you. I am starting to do netting again.

Thank you so much. I watched another fellow's video and I could tell that he was very good at making nets, but I just couldn't get my hands to match what his were able to do. This time, by watching your video a few times as I worked through each step, I now feel pretty good about making this net to catch a bunch invasive carp out of our pond.

@braddrohdenburg4995 Год назад

When I was a kid a LONG time ago, an old Finnish fisherman showed me how to make nets - we made a badminton net for my mom. Then when I went to a military survival school I made a crude net and was surprised at how well it worked. Recently I started putting together a survival kit for backcountry flying, and the survival nets commercially available seem like junk to me, so I decided to make my own. The first one was a disaster. The second one was much better, but a few meshes are wonky. Hopefully the third time will be a charm. It's been fun learning. Your how-to videos were the best I could find, thank you for posting them.

@JRandallS 5 лет назад

I used to watch my father and uncle tying nets at our house in Cocoa, Florida. They would attach the top of the net to one of the steel posts in our carport and they had a shuttle that looked just like the one you were working with. Their mesh was a little finer as I recall. They were making shrimp nets for casting. Of course that was a long time ago, close to sixty years back and I haven't seen it since. We moved from Florida to Alaska when I was nine, and I developed different hunting and survival skills.

@NIGHTOWL-jf9zt 3 года назад

As a child my family used to visit other family in Maine for two weeks every year. My uncle was a lobster fisherman and I spent many days at the piers and on the boat. I always saw others repairing or making their nets, but never got curious enough to know how since I live in upstate NY, and never had the need for a net. Watching this takes me back to those younger years. I am now disabled from Diabetes and wheel chair bound, and looking for a hobby to help fill my time. I am going to give this a try, although I don't know what I will do with the netting I create. My mother used to have a net embellished with sea shells we collected and lobster balls hanging in our home for many, many years. Thank you for this tutorial.

@KnottingKnots 3 года назад

Well thank you for telling me that!! I just love the way that knots can bring back memories or create memories. One thing that I do love about net making, is that it is relatively cheap to do.

I am already at my second layer of loops (length) and should have my net ready in a few hours. Oh I should add, I do not have any of the needles, or board but I can easily replace the needles with a slim stick and just cut the desired width from a hard cover to replace the board. All is good, anyone can start to do immediately. Many thanks again.

@gerardjohnson2106 6 лет назад

Great presentation. "A bit figgity." :) Yeah I thought I might want to go from turk's head knots and interweaves to tying nets. Netting is a exercise in patience and muscle memory. It really ain't that hard but I'm not a musician so my skills for netting don't come naturally. My perspective of netting is that if you are a fisherman and your life depends on a net, you will become proficient at netting. The knots I tie for walking stick grips more suit my pleasure than netting. This is a very good beginners tutorial. Thanks!!!

@KnottingKnots 6 лет назад

OH yes, this video was a nightmare to make. I can net, but at speed, when you slow it down the twine does like to wonder. I find tying nets is very therapeutic, and the end result to me is a very decorative object. Thank you so much for sharing your information.

@johngrundy3744 4 года назад

When loading your needle, put 2 turns around the pin and it will hold without you having to pinch it with your fingers. It'll also hold when your needle is nearly empty. If you don't have a gauging board, you can just use your fingers, 3 fingers is a good mesh size, but you can use 4. If you're using your fingers for gauging you can work from right to left by putting the needle DOWN through the mesh on the left, then twisting the mesh between finger and thumb before you make your sheet bend knot. Incidentally, I thought when I was watching your video, that it would be good to show how to tie the sheet bend knot before going on to the net making part :) I hope some of this helps. All the best, J

As you are making the net, well for me anyway, it is a calm thing to do and I do not want to stop.

He had a wooden needle and wooden gauge for the size of the holes. The gauge was oval shaped and about 4 inches long. I am going to build a needle and gauge and start tying nets just so I can pass it on to my grand kids. Thanks again.

@michaelthibault7930 5 лет назад

Much appreciated instructional video. I've wanted to know how to do this for years, possibly decades. I'll be camped out on your channel's playlist for quite some time, I'm sure. On the subject of time: I suggest you re-issue your videos in a 'Cole's Notes' form -- the minimum-sufficient set of instructions, for quick review or for quick learners, in an appropriately-named, identically-thumbnailed video accessed in the appropriate playlist. You might choose to pretend (or append) some text signifier to distinguish the long form from the short e.g." - Close Notes". On the subject of technique and tools: it occurs to me that a useful addition to netting kit would be one or more rings, worn on the left thumb and/or forefinger, made of silicone rubber and sporting a chromed conical stud above a waist… In profile, an appropriate stud or 'bollard' might look like this: /\ /. \ ) ( - - - - (The stud, above, would sit on the ring, which would be here…). The cord, during the 'large loop around' step, would pass around the waist of the stud and remain there until the cord, having been passed 'under-under-over', is drawn tighter -- at which point the silicone ring flexes, the stud tilts, and the cord on the waist is released…

@malisabrown4761 4 года назад

@reel4fish 2 года назад

Thank you. 😊 Brought back memories of weaving fish casting nets my Father taught my brother and me when we were little. We were taught the needle was called a shuttle and to create size of the net openings was the gauge

@reel4fish 2 года назад

....depending on the size of the fish the gauge varied in size and the size of the fishing monofilament. There is a set of extra loops or eyes added at certain points to increase the size of the casting net. Tedious, but my brother and I made a lot of mistakes that my Father corrected. I learned to weave when I was 10 years old. 65 years ago....! Brought back memories of my Father.

Excellent way of showing netting. You did a very good job of recording. I hope I can remember all the steps. Our grandkids will have fun with this. They live near a lake. Thank you for sharing

FANTASTIC ! I've always wanted to know how to do that ! I'm off to try it right now. Wish me luck. THANK YOU so much for passing on this valuable knowledge to me it's beautiful. I've always liked how nets look. So consistent and pretty with all the perplexing knots tieing it all in. And so useful when finished to boot ! This is knowledge I am going to value my entire life. 💖

It took me ages probably because I was using fairly fine string. I gave up but then went through the video several times and using better, slightly thicker nylon cord. Easy!!!! Many thanks - I need to make a net for a display.

I get confused a lot trying to watch how-to videos but this has really helped me out and given me the motivation to just get stuck in and pass the time, thank you a lot :)

Cool way to teach net making, its called a breading needle on trawlers. never seen it done with the little board before, cute trick for beginners on the internet to learn with but would soon have gone over the rail in the middle of the night in the middle of a gale in the middle of the English channel when the nets got rumpy, not a bad idea for a novice though.

@KnottingKnots 5 лет назад

Hello Andrew, as soon as you mentioned the word trawler, I felt seasick!! I have 18 years in the RN and the longer I was in the sicker I got. Thanks for taking the time to share that information, always good to hear how things are used in real life. Are you off to fight the French today? ;-)

How do ya'll gauge the netting and keep it all together?

@jorriewimmer4363 2 года назад

My dad was a commercial fisherman during the 50's and 60's. I remember watching him make his nets as a little girl. I'm not sure of the name of the nets he would make but knew they were long and he used metals hoops. I'd love to learn how he made them but sadly he passed before he could teach me.

@KnottingKnots 2 года назад

............ and now you can learn here how to make them. Once you have learnt the basic technique, just start making a net. As you make the net, you will feel the warmth of the sun, and your mind will wonder and take you back to those days!! Additionally, you will also create new memories with those who are watching you do this. Learn it and enjoy it 😉 😉 😉

@laurenskee2665 Год назад

He did a great job at explaining this. If you don't have a measuring tool, your fingers work great. That's what we normally use on the boat.

@KnottingKnots Год назад

Yes, when you first did it that way, did it rip your fingers to shreds?

@aymajid85 4 года назад

Beautifully demonstrated... May I know what kind of lines are suitable for creating nets?

@KnottingKnots 4 года назад

OK, I will admit that I am no fishing expert, but I find that thin line that is not too slippery and holds a good knot is best. If you take a look at this page, there is a link to the line that I used: igkt-solent.co.uk/net-making-beginners/

I know this video is some years old now but still reaching people who want to make nets, I have made some ferreting purse nets and now on a mission for making long nets for my self , this is just what I need to make them , the only thing I’m not sure about is the mesh knots as they are just a simple knot really nothing more, purse nets have a second sinch knot with the first knot on each mesh to secure from slipping, so my knots will have the sinch knot on my meshes as well just to be extra sure they won’t slip. Great video thank you as it’s helped many make nets for sure , thanks again.👍

@KnottingKnots 3 месяца назад

I have a video in this video that shows the knots that I personally use: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-91mJqGIh-fQ.htmlsi=9FgpkZBvGXtO1jf7 If I worry about the knot slipping, I use the double knot method.

I am a crocheter and have learned to tat. The stitch you are doing is what is used in tatting only the knots are all on one thread so they can be pushed together to make tiny loops. Tatting thread is like sewing thread and uses a shuttle that is about 3 inches long. My grandmother's is metal and has a removable bobbin. BTW I was watching to learn how to make fishnet for hair nets.

My dad was a commercial fisherman on the Mississippi & Missouri Rivers, I grew up on the river. Raising hoop nets & trammel nets since I was 5. I was the bait pilot, I raised nets and I pulled the hides off the catfish. I didn’t learn to make nets until a few years ago, dad taught me his method and he was fast. He could build a 14’ hoop net in three days hoops and all and have it ready for the tar bath. I finally decided I needed to learn how it was done, and I just about missed it. He taught me and a few months later was diagnosed with dementia. Today he doesn’t know who I am, lives in a nursing home and the rest is history. Glad I learned, I’ll be teaching my son!

@KnottingKnots 4 года назад

Many thanks for sharing your story. I am no expert but.......... maybe just go ahead and make a small net that he can hold. It certainly is not the cure, but maybe he will enjoy the feel, and you will know that you made something just for him.

Why am I having so much trouble getting the knot so that it is above and not a slip knot?. Every time I do a knot I THINK it is ABOVE but when I check - it slips.

This is a local tradition where I live and is used in my every day life. I'm from eastern NC where commercial fishing is the largest industry. We have several net builders around here that keep us working the water. I only know how to "tie net" in small sections for repairs and such. We also have monofilament nets for gill netting

@KnottingKnots 2 года назад

I am sure that making a net for yourself is more fun than having to make one for commercial use. Thanks so much for sharing your netting story.

I repaired nets years ago as kid but have long since forgotten how to tie them .. so nice refresher; thanks. One thing you dont explain though is what to do when you run out of line and need to refill the needle and tie the new line in... would be good to know as I may soon need to tie a net thats 300-500mm deep but 20 mtrs long; not for fishing but to drag an invasive weed out of a lake.
