Seine Net Fishing

August 28, 2025
10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Join Ranger Brown for hands-on fisheries fun at North Point State Park!

Get your feet wet and discover the amazing creatures that call the shallow waters of the Chesapeake Bay home. Using a seine net—a long net with weights at the bottom and floats at the top—we’ll explore the tidal shoreline and see what we can catch: maybe a shimmering silverside, a darting killifish, a grass shrimp, or even a curious blue crab!

This program is perfect for families, budding scientists, and anyone curious about the Chesapeake Bay. Along the way, you’ll learn about fish anatomy and how to use a dichotomous key to identify fish species.

A park entry fee will be taken at the yellow honor box at our gatehouse (first facility as you enter the park). Please bring cash, put it into a green envelope from the honor box, and insert the cash envelope into the honor box upon entering the park
