Seine Nets

Seine nets are large fishing nets that work by encircling fish in open water or along shorelines, then drawing the net closed to trap the catch. This method has been used for centuries and remains effective for both commercial and recreational fishing in lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. Understanding how seine nets function, what regulations govern their use, and where they work best helps anglers and fishing communities make informed decisions about this traditional technique.

The articles here cover the practical details: how to select and handle different seine net types, where regulations permit their use and what restrictions apply, which fish species respond well to seining, and how water conditions and seasons affect success. You'll also find information about the specific techniques that work in different environments, from shallow bays to river systems.
