Consulting

I think of a successful fishing operation as a good ‘fishing system’

The system involves the captain, the crew, the vessel, the electronics, the power (hydraulics), the deck equipment, and the net


There is no single right way to fish a purse seine. I have seen many different techniques of setting, pursing and hauling a seine net.

Some techniques I have seen make sense to me, others do not. My involvement will result in a good analysis and discussion of your techniques and how they may impact the efficiency of your system.

Consulting can be anything from helping with the design of a seine, or choice of purse-line and/or purse rings, or boom winch, or power-block, or certain wheelhouse electronics. It could also include going on a few day fishing trip to observe an existing fishing system in use, and determine where I think improvements can be made.

These improvements can be wheelhouse related, for example, making better use of the available fish finding equipment. Or the improvements could be technique related, like when approaching and setting on a school of fish keeping in mind the design and sinking speed of the net. Or it could be how to save time on deck, while pursing, or hauling gear.

Consulting can be an hourly rate, daily rate, or by the project
