Danny Elburn (with black cap) and his wife Rita E.
Johnson (with black shirt) gearing net. From "Fishing With Nets," Water
Ways - Mid-Atlantic Maritime Communities, Smithsonian Folklife
Festival, ÒMaking and Repairing NetsÓ.
Although few Mid-Atlantic fishermen today make their own nets, they still put a lot of work into them. They customize the nets to fit their boats, they dip them to prevent rotting, and they repair them when they are torn. Commercial fishermen usually know how to wield a net-knitting needle, and they put that knowledge to frequent use. "Hanging" or "gearing" a net means attaching floats and weights appropriate for the fish being caught. Paying an expert to gear a factory-made net is a necessary expense for many fishermen. The Elburn family of Rock Hall, Maryland, gear their own nets. As Captain Danny Elburn says, "There's an art to it." His daughter, Jessica, is a natural. "She's very quick, and her knots stay tight," he says proudly. "A lot of kids her age don't have any interest in doing a job like this. This is a big part of making a family living."
ItÕs a
pretty common thing for the ÒFish PoliceÓ to bust the fishermen in Rock Hall.
Every week in the Kent News, thereÕs bound to be some of them in the Police
Blotter.
