Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Blocking Net - Tilapia

An old blocking net trick ! Dang I am giving away my secrets.

Once you have adults and babies (YOY to free swimming stage)behind the net and you want to separate them try this. Slowly reduce the size of the enclosed area by closing the net inward (closing a circle). Take each end of the net and walk them slowly to meet in the shallow water then move to a little deeper water as you close in the net more (shrink the circle). When the circle is reduced to a small size move it (with the larger fish still enclosed) back to shallow water and slowly redeploy the net by seining backward. Many of the yoy will be outside the net and be subject to predation by the outsiders.
