Makeing Trammel Nets For Turbot

[Tiercel 6,986]

PK have you tried using stays on the up tide side of the gill net? All they are are pieces of rope tied to the head line and dug in to the sand they stop the net flattening out in the tide and create a U shaped belly in the net. You can also add wash balls to them to create more bouyancy than just the net floats.

Thats good price you are getting. We drift on a sandy beach with 100yards and a rope about 15-20 yards, let the tide lift and walk back leaving net there once the rope is out you can pull it in a bit, soon as it gets bit of water under her she will drift.

wont the end of the net drift before the rest in in the water (the tail end swinging round?) what leadline you use number 2? float every 3-4ft?

No 2 lead and corks every 4 ft.. We tie a house brick at the end, oh a stone off the beach, it work well if you have a good beach to drift on not have to jump over rocks and stone beaches, and have a good place to haule you net. [BANNED TEXT] we set nets on boat we only set on last 2 hours of the tide all fish are still alive, and live going in the box on ice.
