A fish loading method for transferring fish from a net gathered alongside a fishing boat into the hold of the fishing boat. The method includes providing a fish receiving aperture formed in the side of the boat adjacent the boat's water-line. A gate normally closes this aperture, with the gate being opened during a loading operation. A conveyor belt leads from the aperture to a deck of the boat. A power-operated pressure bar is movable vertically in the aperture and in its lower position wedges a portion of the net during a loading operation. The remaining portion of the net is progressively raised and gathered towards the aperture so as to progressively float fish from the net into and through the fish receiving aperture. The conveyor belt then moves the fish upwardly and inboard for transfer to the boat's hold or holds.
