A seine is a large fishing net, which has weights on the bottom (lead line) and buoys on the top (float or cork line) to keep the net vertical when dragged through the water. These long flat nets, which resemble a fence, are used to entrap fish. Seine nets are best used in shallow waters because most stay in continual contact with the bottom and the surface of the water. However, some seine nets are intended to sink or to float.

When seining on a beach, the seine is set from the shore to surround a school of fish and then is blocked off to confine them alongside the shore. You would most likely catch bait fish being this close to the shore.
