A surround net is also known as seine net and is a method of fishing with a gill net by moving it through the water to surround fish by corralling and trapping them within the walls of the net.

The surround net will vary in size and length and is used by both the recreational and commercial fishermen. Floaters are attached along one edge to hold the net afloat to create a wall.

One type of fish caught in Kailua Bay using a surround net is akule. The main objective in this fishing method is to surround the school of akule with a barrier net of small enough mesh to prevent the akule from entangling in the mesh. The akule are herded by the net as the net is drawn smaller and smaller
