Let's Go Fishing

 

Do you like to go fishing on the weekends, or is it your livelihood? It is safe to say that having a useful fishing net not only helps enhance your experience, it also helps in catching more fishes effectively. The modernizations in technology have led to the production of high-quality nets. A classic fishing net has a few components that are as follows;

• ·         There's a top edge connected to a rope called headline or float line.
• ·         There are floats attached to the headline.
• ·         The bottom of the net is connected by hanging twine to a rope known as the footrope.
• ·         Weights made out of lead connected to the footrope help in spreading the net vertically.

What Are The Different Types Of Fishing Nets?

Let's take a look at various types of nets available in the market and their targeted usages;

·       The gillnets, also known as entanglement nets, have panels aligning the net vertically over the seabed. The holes within the nets determine the quantity of the catch. Smaller fishes tend to swim out due to the large-sized mesh.

• ·         There are demersal gillnets meant for catching gummy sharks by various fisheries across the world.
• ·         There are ring nets with straight panels meant for catching fish spotted on the surface of the sea.
• ·         The seine nets have two wings with ropes attached to each one. The net is considered for the fishes that swim along with an object in the water and not over it.

There are several other fishing nets that an angler must know about for effective execution of operations.
