There
are as many designs and variations of seines as there are
variations and habitats of fish. Sterling provides over 50
years of experience in building seines to meet the needs of
commercial, research and recreational users. Top quality nylon
netting and materials are used throughout. Standard configurations
are shown below. Please contact us for any special requirements.

Drag Seines - Hand Hung, Ready To Fish
|
|
| |
|
| |

These
nets are hand hung by our skilled Down East Maine net
men.
Standard Construction:
Full one third basis netting (150 stretched feet per 100
feet of seine).
Single top and double bottom lines of 5/16" diameter
braided polypropylene to resist kinking and untwisting
and to keep seines from rolling up.
Rot proof, sponge type floats placed every 30" to
36" (at nearest tie).
Lead sinkers are placed every 10" to 16" (at
nearest tie).

Knotless
netting, for the same break test as knotted, uses less
weight for the same size net. Therefore, it is less expensive
than a knotted net. Also, with no knots, the fish are
not scaled or stressed when they are caught. Float and
lead rigging is the same as our knotted seines.

These
100% nylon seines are strong yet lightweight and will
not scale the fish. Ideal for minnows and small fry. Each
seine is complete with top & bottom lines, PVC floats,
leads and 480 lb. test rope. Netting is hung to "bag"
or "bunt" properly.

In
addition to the small mesh and drag seines described above,
Sterling can supply other types of seines that are specifically
designed to catch individual species or to take advantage
of the sea bed by encircling or trapping fish. The variations
in design and cost are extremely diverse. For a price quote
or assistance in designing your net, please contact Sterling
with your requirements. |
| |
Purse
Seines |
| |
A
floating net that surrounds the schooling fish and is deeper
than the schooling depth. Once the school is encircled,
the bottom of the net is closed or pursed. These nets are
generally used in deep waters, but are occasionally used
in shallow water where the bottom is not favorable to dragging
the seine. Sterling Purse Seines are of two general configurations,
shown below.
|
| |
 |
| |
Haul
or Beach Seine with Pocket |
| |
 |
This
is an encircling seine and consists of two wings and
a pocket. The pocket may be
centered or offset to one side depending on how the
net will be hauled. Many times the wings will have variable
mesh size, larger and lighter twines on the outer and
smaller and heavier towards the pocket. |
|
| |
Long
Seine Without Pocket |
| |
| This
seine is larger than a beach seine and is usually operated
from two boats and dragged. |
 |
|
| |
Stop
Seine or Stop Net |
| |
(Not
pictured) - This net is set across the mouth of a small
bay, bayou, beach or other restricted area of water and
the fish are trapped between the net and the land. The
fish are landed by either waiting for the ebb tide and
then dipping or hauling them out or allowing them to escape
over the stop seine float line by dipping the float line
into a floating holding box or pocket.
