My Story
Passed down from father to son for three generations, my family set the forefront on saltwater shrimp seines, otherwise known as beach seines or shrimp nets. Based from Brunswick GA, Waters' seines are regionally unrivaled with our expertise and skill in building the perfect seine everytime. When my grandfather Eddie Waters was in charge, he would sell an average of 85 nets a year. This was done solely on word of mouth and standard black & white business cards. After he passed, my father took the helm, improving the techniques his father started. I have now been taught the trade and am doing everything possible to continue what has been in my family for over 3 decades. The phrase "Nets & Seines" refers to the fact that now that this business has passed on to the 3rd generation, I hope to gather more knowledge about what you are looking for in your fishing needs. The name leaves room to grow as I continue to utilize my skills and traditions.
I do everything from building seines, advertising/marketing, shipping, ordering and maintaining this website. So if you are looking for a larger company with a little more products to offer, then I can't help you there. However, if I do have what you need, or if you like the idea of personal 1 on 1 service, then you have reached the right website. I hope to continue to accomodate everyone soon enough for their saltwater ocean seining as well as freshwater: lake, pond and river seining. If you have completed the survey and have a question, just want to say hi or if you interested in carrying our seines please don't hesitate to send me a message under the "Contact" page. ~Sincerely, Steve Waters II

What Exactly is Seining?
Are You Visiting the GA Coast and Want to Try Seining?
Also referred to as shrimp nets or drag nets, people seine on Oceanside beaches, lakeside beaches, rivers, creeks and small ponds. You may have seen a couple guys (or gals) holding a long pole, with a net attached to it, dragging it through the water. This net has a rope on the bottom with lead weights inserted inside to keep the bottom from lifting off of the bottom surface. and a rope on the top; which holds doughnut shaped floats with enough bouancy to keep it afloat.
The purpose of this is to pull it through the water and catch any shrimp or fish that are in your way. Sometimes you may pull up stingrays, crabs even small sharks and this in a nutshell is seining.
Different states have different laws governing the mesh size, which is the size of the holes in the net. The smaller the hole, the more you trap. The laws also govern the height and length of the nets and sometimes the material that can be used. The two most popular materials are nylon and monofilament. I provide both monofilament and multifilament nylon to accomodate both law and individidual preference.
If there isn't a length, depth or mesh size you are looking for, we can special order for you. There is no inflation on material cost, and I will work with you to help keep your expenses low.
If you are visiting the area and would like to try seining without purchasing a net, I have rentals available. For only $25, you can take a 50' seine to the beach for 12 full hours.
This net is the perfect size for beginners and for families. If you enjoyed your trip and would like to purchase a net, then take $25 off of the cost of a seine.
