Flyshoot fishing involves the use of a single net and approximately 2 x 3,500 meters of combination rope.
During fishing operations, a buoy is first deployed overboard, to which the flyshoot rope (combination rope) of approximately 3,500 meters is attached. The vessel then sails in a half-circle.
Next, the net is set overboard. The vessel completes the circle using the second 3,500-meter rope and returns to the buoy.
At this point, the crew retrieves the end of the rope along with the buoy and hauls in the net.
With flyshoot fishing, the vessel remains mostly stationary while the net is being hauled in.
For flyshoot fishing, VCU Maritime offers everything you need to fully equip your vessel. This includes the VCU CombiRope, flyshoot nets, as well as the buoy set and all necessary leaders, bridles, and hauling equipment to complete the setup.
