just wondering what most of you guys use for a net to successfully land your bows & pics with.. out here on erie?
I personally use the black rubber mesh net with an extended handle
I fish solo alot...and I find usin the rubber mesh net easier to handle netting my fish at boat side by myself
I very rarely miss landing a fish.. as i always target and wait for that head first oppurtunity.. scooping , lifting and in motion...I do keep my boat in gear at a lower speed to keep a tight line with low resistance with the fish
I never try and reach out prematurely..i stay calm and steady gettin that fish right up and close to the proper side of the boat
I also find removing hooks from the rubber mesh is a quick and easy task
the rubber mesh is easy to rinse and does not smell and hold fishy odour like a nylon mesh does
I remember soaking my nylon net many times in a bucket of soap to get rid of the smell
