Also, the winches on the boat pull the purse line. there's no winches or powerblocks on the skiff to pull anything-it just holds the first end of the net to go outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893913257553092577.post-72130701128905507192010-07-11T21:58:48.334-07:002010-07-11T21:58:48.334-07:00These type of fishing boats are purse seining sard...These type of fishing boats are purse seining sardines right now. Check out the river walk between 8th & 9th at night during the next few weeks and you will see an amazing amount of activity. That little plant ships out many millions of pounds of big fat sardines (12" long. The biggest and best are used by Japanese fisherman for bait to catch sushi grade tuna. The little boat is used to encircle a school of sardines with a net and then pull the line that closes the bottom of the net like a purse string.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893913257553092577.post-84718804201642719882010-07-11T20:32:21.588-07:002010-07-11T20:32:21.588-07:00Yea, Hilda I thought so!
