Setting an Anchor for Commercial Set Net Fishing

Set netting involves setting a gill net across the current to intercept fish as they swim with the current. The net is held in a stationary position by an anchor at each end. Typical anchors include a stake pounded into the mud (if in shallow water), large concrete blocks typically weighing about 4,000lbs or sand bag piles using anywhere from 75 - 200 sandbags. In this video we show setting a concrete block anchor at our friends Kenai Alaska set net site and a sandbag anchor at our East Forelands/Nikiski AK site.

Yes, the skiff on the marble pile at the end of the video is the same one (Bruin) used to drop the concrete block.

is the boat that is pictured at 8:58 of this movie the 23' bruin?

Its a 23' Bruin that we bought "new" last year. It had been in a storage yard for about 20yrs without ever having been launched!
