To me, kick seining takes at least 2 people
set up the seine at the bottom of a riffle or constriction in the water flow
one person holds the seine - it is best if the seine can be set up so that
there is a relatively deep 'pocket' so that the fish swim into the seine and
have a difficult time exiting. Depending on the width of the seine, this
will likely happen anyway if you only have 1 person holding both sticks.
one person goes upstream and kicks substrate. The best results I have seen
come from extending 1 foot at a time sideways and dragging the foot back -
then repeat with the other foot to the other side - then take a step and
repeat until you reach the net. I tend to try to go downstream too fast,
but a slower progression downstream seems to have better results
Make sure that you and your partner agree on which side of the seine each
person will lift - when you reach the seine, lift it up.

What is kick seining? What do you do?
