I have kick seined many times by myself. The seine needs to be short enough
for one person to hold both brails and shallow enough to hold the tops of
the brails tilted upstream while standing downstream of the seine pocket,
which is then only about 3-4 feet wide. Having extra heavy weights on the
lead line helps. Face the seine pocket, and disturb the substrate upstream
of the it with the feet. Works great.
