Country Joe 1,411 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 the net enters the sea like a big envelope, and they have it in the water for 5 mins then it swings up, with the fish sliding down into a poke, and a Lad nets them out using a small net, they only seem to catch small fish about 6 at a time, and only catch on average every third try.

Country Joe 1,411 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 this Man was fishing fresh water he had his net on two pins just like a tradional long net, he placed a peg in the wall, then ran the net out on an ark placing the other pin in the wall also, he then swam up and down inside the net, forcing the frightened fish into the net. when finished he gathered up as you would a rabbit long net.

Country Joe 1,411 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 this old Guy was really interesting, he had a hand made Crossbow, and a long barbed arrow, he reminded me of a human Heron, he would stand not moving a muscle, for about 5 mins then fire the Bow, the water was not clear, ive no idea how he saw them, he caught about 4 fish in half an hour, same size as the last photograph.

Seen Robeson green use one......seemed very effective but due to low fish stocks they were only catching small fish Quote Link to post
