Re: NFC: A seining we will go
Suggest using either the egg shaped sinkers that have a clip on device
(Water Gremlin) or go to a regular sporting goods store and purchase
some more weights that look like the ones on the bottom of the net (long
with a hole through the middle. I have additional weights about every
6" to a foot - how many depends on how much current and/or how many
weeds you have to deal with. More weights = more tendency to stay on
the bottom. You will probably find, as I did, that the floats are
insufficient as well. I use large bobbers spaced from 6 inches to a
foot apart as supplemental floats. Can also use chunks of styrofoam.
