How Successful is seine netting? What percentage of the stock do we catch?

We can make a confident assumption that Andrew Ellis has netted more lakes than anybody in the country, so who better to ask the question that we hear the most when we're out netting? How successful are we?

The main points to take away are that we're not magic, we plead with clients to drain some water off for us, to dig lakes so that stock management is easy and to remove snags. Not because we're trying to make our job easy, but because we want to do a good job for the customer and maximise the success of the netting because we know how cropping fish effects the progression of the fishery.
