I'm hoping I'm not too late on the discussion of the seine nets. I looked into wanting to buy one myself, but for $100 for a 25x4 without the sock and with sock at $200 I couldn't find myself wanting to buy the net. My dad did some online shopping and found a guy down in Florida who makes seine nets at half the price. Put in the order last week for a 25x4 with the 4x4x4 sock in the center and it came up to $80+ without shipping and handling and after shipping and handling roughly over $100 something. The net should be close to being done if not done already so I can give you guys a review on that if you guys are interested.

Do you think you can link there website here so i can have a look? If i can get one for half the price, that's a deal.

Cvang, You may have found a good resource for all. Maybe not....in my experience, most of the time, you get what you pay for. But you have a lot experience pulling a seine. So when you get your new net in, look it over carefully. And let us know what you think. I'm not sure if you have a Christiansen net or not to compare it too, but if so great. Also, let everyone know how long it took from ordering to delivery day. So people can make decisions on getting one from there or back here in MN. Good luck, I hope its a good one!

Sorry it took me a while to get back. The net isn't finished yet so I can't say anything about it yet. Let me get the link from my dad and I'll share it tomorrow.

I ordered my Christiansen net, on Monday morning. I had it shipped to Lacrosse WI., it arrived the next day. Now if the smelt can be that predictable this year, with all the ice.

Ready to smelt, but the thick ice will delay the run for a few weeks? I usually smelt and go trout opener but vice versa this season..

My thoughts on timing are like this.
Yes we have a lot of ice. But that will go quickly if the weather changes. The sun is our friend, snow is not. If we keep getting snow on it like last year, then it could be late like last year. But the weather feels like it's turning a bit faster this year. So I think things will be maybe a week ahead of last year, we shall see. We might be eating them sooner than you think!!!! Last year was very very late. I would be surprised if we have to wait that long this year. In 2012, we had a mild winter, early spring, and early start to the smelting season. But it was a start and stop year, very frustrating to many. I like a later start. It keeps the run a bit more compressed and easier to figure out.
