matt101 115 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hello, I'm thinking about going out longnetting tonight. Got a decent place in mind and the wind direction is right for it but it's Blowing a gale around me at the moment. I know it's best to go on a windy night but can it be too windy to go longnetting? Thanks Quote Link to post

Mr Wilkes 2,980 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It certainly can bob..apart from the bagging flipping itself over the top running line it will sing like you wont believe.. 3 Quote Link to post

smithie 2,443 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 lol we been out in worse.. we once had to fight to get a net out in 90 mph gusts (acording to the site in link above) while it rained and then we found cows in the field bad bad night 2 Quote Link to post
Tiercel 6,986 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 About the only wind that I will make an effort to go out in no matter how strong it is, is a Northerly to do the drops that cannot be done on any other wind. Northerly winds here that blow on into the night are so few and far between, when they do happen you have to use them. TC 2 Quote Link to post
terryd 8,385 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I was wondering the same my self will stick me head out the door later and access. I did go once when it was blowing a gale side on to the drop and what a nightmare. Vowed not to attempt it again Quote Link to post

My windows are rattling about still but im going to head out ferreting with the longnets and see what its like in the daylight, if its not too bad ill pop out later Thanks Quote Link to post
terryd 8,385 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Stuck my head out door bout eleven and it was picking up plus it was the coast I wanted to go. Very damp and drisley too so I will be waiting to it has passed by then it will be worth a shot Quote Link to post
Mr Wilkes 2,980 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well .. We did go out with .410 and lamp and found three pockets of rabbits that on the right wind will be excellent for a drop with the nets. Smithie also showed me why he is Johnny Vegas' stunt double... 9/10 for the face plant Smithers.lol 1 Quote Link to post
