Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help Anyone use large seines

Nah, only half. You still probably spent 1/2 day the next day getting everything put away!

I was suprised at how much mud came up with the fish.

The seine was hard to pull thru the water, but I think a larger mesh net would be easier, and collect less mud. Just make sure the depth of the seine is much deeper than the depth of the pond, which allows you to form a larger basket. Bottom of the seine should always be in front of the floats at the top, and seine slow enough so that the bottom of the seine stays in contact with the bottom, or fish will scoot out under the seine.

If you can go from shore to shore, pulling it slower will catch more fish than pulling it faster.
