Researchers as well as Grad Students are welcome to call us at the shop. Greg will spend as much time as he needs to go over what the projects require. No receptionist. No sales person. No catalog referral................ just a real honest to goodness netmaker who has put gear in almost all the 7 Seas of the world .
The huge advantage INS has over ALL of the other companies on the internet selling Research Nets, is that INS has walked the walk and talked the talk.
We have have been on the back deck of research vessels in the Indian Ocean,..... raising fish cages from a jon boat in a tupelo gum swamp,..... neck deep in leech infested waters retrieving a snagged hoop net,...... "drying up" the sock on a 1200' fish seine in the Delta ,......walking the frozen Yellow Perch ponds of the Sand Hills,.....chasing "loose" tilapia in a raceway,....... dipping shad behind a control structure,......sorting a codend full of pelagic fishes on a back deck,..... hauling back on a 1/4 mile of mono gill net near the Head of the Passes,..... running the wand over tagged paddlefish in the Big Mo,..... blindly feeling around in a pound net for the snake that just bit Greg,......notifying the authorities that Greg and a buddy were overdue, only to find out they had got caught in a Tropical Depression coming across Barataria Bay ,..... freeing up a tangled gator from the trammel and............. lets not forget the night everyone was left wondering just how big was that Bull shark that smacked our net skiff and then ripped through the seine.
INS (and our old company (Trawl and Repair Service LLC) worked projects for state, federal and private agencies involving; Bycatch reduction, Turtle Exclusion Devices, Fuel Efficiency on vessels, fingerling grading with 'new' seines, catfish harvesting nets, fish pens and predators, aviary protection nets for fish farms, Saddle bag harvest nets for shrimp ponds, ...and on..... and on...and on.....
INS (Greg) even had his own columns in both Fish Farming News and National Fisherman Magazine. Both were related to new gears that were being tested in research work, commercial fishing and aquaculture. It wasn't all perfect but folks like to see new ideas and INS is just full of them.
Cut to the Chase. . . . . . . .
So all of this comes down to one thing, researchers and grad students know that when they ask questions about their special (sometimes critical ) projects, that INS has the field experience to try and put them in the right direction with the right gear. And....if they have a problem, they can rest assured INS will be there to help them sort through it. Nobody is perfect and that includes us, but we try mighty hard .
Take this challenge:
Contact ANY OTHER COMPANY ON THE INTERNET with your project proposal. Tell them what you want to do and ask them for exact details on what they can offer.
Then contact us ( 337-856-1948) ............. and compare notes.
We may be slow but we do it right!
