Went out earlier this evening for a Rabbit or two for the pot,, this is my first time in useing the basket method, the reason i chose to use the baskets is that my friend who was with me has no experience of the tradditional method, anyway the nets were set and acounted for 32 Rabbits! not bad for less than an hours work.....

hemp like all naturall fibered twines need loveing care!,, Rule number 1 is "DO NOT DRY THEM WITH AN ARTIFICEALL HEAT" Let Mother nature dry them! Coz if you dont regarding naturall fibre twines the life span of your net will be short lived!!! ( did i spell artificeall right ? )LOL,, SERIOUSLEY..these old fibered twines need loveing care and will last a life time if looked after properly !! but if you dry them on front of a gloweing heat,, the fibre will loose its strength and its mesh size!! natureall fibered twines DO NOT LIKE ARTIFICEALL HEAT.............

Well the best place to net if you have the bottle is at the mouth of the River,,,, if its to hot at the mouth (which should be ) go down the shoreline but place the net tight to the shoreline !! them silver darlings hug the bank!! one or two Sea Trout in the bag !! Regards...

I did'nt have the bottle to reply to that post !!! why you may ask !! simple !! coz i aint got a clue what hes talking about!! Cotten bands ?? youve got me there !! now if you said cotten running lines i may be able to help you out ! regards...

Now let me think here !! Rich is the river that runs down through Whitby called the Esk ?? ive fished the said river but iam afraid only by rod and line!! If what i was told is right its the only river in the district that takes the Salmon/Trout,,, disregarding i may add the wee burns that run into the sea!!! Ive fond memorys of the area and no doubt i will pay that lovely part of the Country a visit again in the near future ,,,, REGARDS..

Na mate enough fish in the sea for everyone , using 4 1/2" mesh Now then its foolish to try and pull the wool over your Mentors eyes!! them fish in the picture dont come from any ordinary sea!!!

Went out to fish last nights Tide with the Gill Net,, much better result! looks like the run is now on..
-
The net in the picture is worked on the Beech,, i prefer to work Trammels for River Netting..
-
Nope!!!
-
Went out with the Gill Net last night to check if the Sea Trout run is on,, as you can see in the picture only four Trout and four Mullet Gilled in the meshes,, who knows what the next tide may yield?

before you spend your hard earned cash!! is it actually HEMP that you are buying ?? these days Hemp twine is a thing off the past!!! i consider myself as a twine Tart LOL..

So rabbits caught in a net in the hours of darkness dont struggle?? !! i give up !! you and yours stick to your rabbit friendly 5" mesh nets!!! ...

watch this space Mate regarding square meshed nets

A 5" full mesh is in no way a killing net for Rabbits,, and i cant see the oldschool of years gone by useing sutch a mesh size,, after all the longnet in the past was the bread earner for a lot of guys, it put food and cash on the table ,, !! personally i cant see the point in setting a net or nets of a 5" mesh for a Bunny or two and i doubt it very much if the longnetters of years gone by would use such a mesh size!!! 4 1/2" mesh max for a good killing net!! depending on the material the net is or has been constructed off!!! then again what the fek do i know ?? iam new to this netting game
-
Well heres my tuppence worth regarding mesh sizes, imo a 5" mesh is a little to big for a rabbit net,,!! sure it will hold the odd Bunny but that size of mesh would be more suited to a Hare or Two,, Now iam getting personal here on past experience regarding mesh sizes for Rabbits,, You have got to take into consideration the type of twine thats on offer,, I.E. a nice 3ply Hemp twined net will suffice as a 4ply net !!! made up in a 4 1/2 " mesh will kill no problem!! why you may ask ?? becuse there is no stretch in natuarall fibres,,!! know if you want to get into great detail regarding t

Just a few words here to thank Molcatcher and his Family for a great week, the hospitality was second to none,, it was a dam shame that the week went in so quickly.. It was good to see at first hand the basket method being put to use,, very smooth i may add, ,, Molecatcher sure knows his stuff . On the day before our departure we were out setting the mole traps on one of the big Sporting Estates that Molcatcher works when this Gent of a Man handed me a departing gift,, a quality knife boxed and all with the following poem..

Iam with you on that one Crow,, its foolish to penny pinch on be it purse or long nets !! if you need a quality net/ nets , the catch rate and the ease of handling of a hand made net will soon will put the machine nets to the grave!! dont get me wrong the machine made nets have there place in the rabbit catchers bag ,, personally i still use them this day and age but the m/c made nets i have are of good quality compared to the shit thats doing the rounds these days !! long net wise these days machine made nets are cheap and efective!! but the life span on these types of nets are limited to t

What type of netting is it ?? i.e 4z , 6z,, 10z, colour,, ?? ive had a few p.m's from other lads regarding poor quality purse nets and longnets ?? the £££'s come before quality these days iam afraid !! what has happened to good old fashioned gear at a reasonable price ??......
