Seining is as much an art as a science. We'll be learning how to seine fish until we are dead, but one thing we have learned is that lmb do not catch well in a standard seine. They jump over, and they'll make you pull your hair out even if you hold up the float line all the way. A bagged seine, with trailing pocket in middle, is the best way to catch large numbers. They are hard to pull, hard to harvest, and drag pond bottom very closely so collect silt real bad. It is a 3-4 man operation at least. Electrofishing still most efficient means for selective removal.


It's ALL about the fish!
