- Well after the previous nights lack of fish in my boat in the dark on the low water, we decided to go again the next day in my fathers boat for the high water. With there not being many herring around in January, and an extreme high pressure, we didnt expect much. We first shot the 2 1/8" mono herring nets for the last hour of the flood tide, then at slack water shot the 2" nylon nets, so they got the first of the ebb tide. There was far more fish in the 2" nets, but they werent as good quality as the herring from the 2 1/8". The herring spawn around xmas, so they are considered spent, they go thin, so the smaller mesh nets catch more. People think nets are unselective, but it shows that even changing the mesh size by 1/8 of an inch makes a big difference.
brilliant to watch, I can't believe the numbers of cormorant and seals about now it is little wonder there aren't any fish about , It is Ok for the conservationists to push to protect these type of species in nature but they don't seem to see the full picture, they are buggering it up but they will never admit it, keep up the videos and it is nice to learn about it
Cheers, there is about 10000 adult seals and probably 6000 pups within a 8 mile radius of us now, thats a lot of fish eaten per day, but commercials always get the blame.
Brilliant video
cheers, Im glad you enjoyed it. Ive put several more netting videos up since this one. Theres more fish in the later videos.
@@beanysfishing2555 yeah I've watched a few of yours now bloody brilliant, is that a massey 2680 or 2720 fella
@@reachfortheskyphotography3121 its a 2680. Poor old girl needs a paint up after I bought it a couple of years ago. Ideal tractors for pulling boats, they are cheap hp.
Top tip Beany your sounding better every day when have they said you can get back to sea
They haven’t yet. Still need to build my strength up more before that
Great stuff I was fishing the same nets off Clacton on sea years ago essex god I miss it keep up the channel boys
Cheers mate. It’s a shame the general public don’t really eat herring anymore. To think years ago virtually everyone ate them. I will still keep fishing for them while the adults in the offices let us
To right 👉 keep fighting keep fishing
What type of outboard u got, I allso got tactile 21 , great boats
Ive just got an old yamaha 2 stroke. Ok they drink abit, but maintenance is quick and easy, and they are reliable as hell
@@beanysfishing2555 I’ve got a 4 stroke Honda 60 , so much electric’s on them now, drives me mad at times, I’m seriously thinking about going back to 2 stroke for simplicity
Hi when is the best time of year to fish for herring with the nets.
On the Norfolk coast, herring fishing is usually at its best in November.
