Commercial Gill Netting Speckled Trout and Bluefish in North Carolina

Gill nets are probably the most misunderstood gear in existence. There are so many misconceptions about them: they kill sea turtles, undersized fish, oversize fish, etc. This video is to show the truth about them: they’re the cleanest, most species and size specific way to fish; and they rarely harm anything except keeper, target fish.

It’s hard work but it’s fun when it’s like that. Wish I was still doing it

I definitely want to see more. I'd even be willing to come and be the cameraman if you're up for that. I've definitely complained about comm guys in the past but honestly nothing would make me happier than for all the crap I've heard to be proven wrong first hand. Between recs and comms we're the only people who really give a damn about the fishery so we should definitely be working together and understanding each other is the first step.

It’s only a matter of time until the right people are in charge and we get rid of gill nets that have been destroying our fishery for years now

@swamptosoundadventures8337 9 ай бұрын

Most of that was 3 3/4” 35 mesh deep if I remember correctly. Forty or fifty pound leadline

Where do you get your nets from?

@swamptosoundadventures8337 Жыл бұрын

We get the netting and corks from Kellers supply in Manteo and we order the line from Ketchem supply in Maryland then make the nets ourselves.

way to kill a bunch of fish and crabs

Killed a lot less than the Rec fishermen and no small fish killed in the process. The public who own the fish are also the people who wanna eat them on restaurants, not just the ones who can afford to go out and catch them.

Throwing dead fish back in the water what's the point of that

@swamptosoundadventures8337 Жыл бұрын

What fish? If it was dead then it was thrown back because it was either the wrong size or out of season.

Know why recs dont get along with these guys? Because they fill up the bottom of a boat with 70 something fish and wipe out an area in one night. Why should a piece of paper allow you to keep 20 times the amount of fish as I can? Get a real job times have changed. Market hunting ducks used to be legal too but its not now for obvious reasons. Your nets are the equivalent of a punt gun. Listen to how they talk, obviously model citizens....haha

@@ggw7948commercial fishing, especially gill netting is highly regulated including mesh size ,season size of fish , these laws are constantly changing based on research of fish in the area. the size net there using is designed to catch the smaller non egg laying fish. They do this to provide fresh fish for people who can’t afford or are physically unable to have the luxury of fishing. It sounds like someone’s mad they can’t catch any on rod and reel 😂😂
