200 foot seine, 1/16th inch mesh. 900 feet of mudline had to be attached with zip ties as the mudline was shipped separately. Took some time!
Ken, pulling a 200 foot seine was a little difficult with driving rain and ice pellets, 40 degree air temps and 45 degree water temps. Add to that there was a lot of resistant due to only 1/16th inch mesh including through weeds, but Scot and I are studs.
BTW my dad who usually helps with the seining left for Florida just in time. I'm pretty sure he was relieved he was not part of this effort.
Running the seine across 130 feet of pond off the pier. The pier crosses the center of the pond all the way across.
Another view. So far pics have been earlier in the day before the wind and driving lake effect rain and ice pellets hit.
A view from the other side of the pond. Notice the wind is just starting to pick up and it's getting cloudier.
First pull on the west side of the pier only produced 5 perch and several bluegills with some smallies mixed in. I was worried!
Seining the east side of the pier. The thing sticking up is a fence post and the geothermal hose that is normally under water. It seemed like a good idea at the time but no so much when we were seining. I drained down the pond a couple of feet for seining.
