Company information:
Gamrie Bay net riggers are all ex-fishermen and skippers with a combined 140 years of experience and only use quality products supplied by Cotesi or Portugal. As Scottish agents and fishing consultant to Cotesi, we advise on all netting, ropes, buoys and twines for the fishing industry.

As well as supplying netting, rope, polyform buoys, twines, doors, wire and sweeplines, the firm also provide prawn, squid and queenie trawls throughout the UK. Squid trawls have been supplied to vessels along the Moray Firth in the summer months.

 This fishery is still developing with potential to let vessels get extra days fishing per month. Gamrie Bay prawn trawls are made to specification depending on the area fishing with different rigs required on east and west coasts. The firm has vast experience of fishing and making prawn trawls on their own twin-rig fleet.
 

Queenie trawls are a new net we have produced for an Isle of Man skipper. This is also a fishery with large potential in the Moray Firth and Gamrie Bay have been looking for skippers that have the knowledge and experience of these grounds in the firth to do trials with their nets to open up this fishery.

Work has recently been carried out on two new twin-rig prawn scraper nets for a Green Isle skipper. These new nets allow more spread between doors compared with standard prawn nets. Rigged on a centre section of 40ft of 8" and 6" ground discs on the wings, the ground gear allows for fishing on broken ground as well as clean areas. Green braided Cotesi netting of 3 and 4mm has been used with extension and cod ends made with compact redline netting.
