Hi Eric,

I've actually netted sandeels this time of year down here in Kerry but that was 2 seasons ago - dunno is it normal but it seems to be more common than I would have thought

How you net them? :shock:

We use a length of green mesh netting. it's the stuff you see wrapped around scaffolding sometimes. you can buy it from garden centers too, think it's called windbreaker netting or something
