In the operation of recovering a purse seine loaded with fish, a pickup line is passed through the gathered purse rings and attached at one end to a prong mounted on the side of the boat. By hoisting the other end of the pickup line the rings are made to slide on the prong and are retained in order, without the need for manual handling. When the empty net is being stowed, the rings strip off the prong in proper order. The prong is adjustable to an angularly upwardly extending position for purse seining, wherein the net is hauled through an overhead power block for stowage, and to a generally horizontal position for drum seining, wherein the stowed net is rolled on a drum.
