Stationary Uncovered Pound Netting “Pound net means a stationary or fixed fishing device consisting of several stakes or poles which have been pushed or pumped into the bottom and attached to netting which
forms a straight wall or leader which serves to guide fish through a funnel and heart shaped enclosure into a terminal head or pocket with a netting floor”

Cast Netting“Cast nets are limp circles of mesh netting surrounded on their outer edge by lead weights. The
user is supposed to throw the netting over a school of fish, allow the net to sink then pull the connected pull handlines to close the net around the catch. While this may sound simple, it takes
many users years to master the art. ”
