If it's not too much trouble could I get a copy of your mathematical equations for figuring out mesh for hoop Nets? I would really really appreciate it thanks in advance
Currently hanging a 50 fathom (300ft')net of 4 " mesh on a third that's 25 meshes deep (104 ") 8' 4") How far apart should the floats be so the net will sink and stand up?
Floats go on your top line. If your fishing still water no need for lead weights at the bottom of the net. If running lead, you need enough flotation to offset the lead.
what size mesh you planning on running and how are you fishing it? floating it (with weighted bottom), sinking it (mud line weighted heavy to keep the net on the bottom and running smaller floats to keep it upright but submerged), or flag webbing (floats on top line, no weights on bottom). I like to hang gill on 1/3 and run double selvage top row of meshes and run a main line through them. Tie the webbing to the main line every 3 feet. depending on what your fishing, #9 is the absolute biggest twine your should need for gill net.
This was a really helpful video. I couldn't understand hanging ratios from other sources. Thank you!

Hay man how do you go about calculating your ties on a gill net ?
