As I gain more experience fishing, I am finding that I am loathe to actually use my hand net. Although several of the species I am catching really begin to fight after I pull them from the water, and netting them would be ideal, what I end up with is a terrible tangled mess. The fish struggles for a bit, and the two treble hooks get hopelessly caught in the net mesh. I have spent ten minutes trying to unsnag everything, causing possible harm to the fish and sometimes necessitating my snipping small parts of the net.
What am I doing wrong? Suggestions?How to use a hand net in fishing?
when i land a fish i wait til it gets tired out some and when i use a lure with treble hooks i hold the net in one and and my pole in the other and just pull the fish into the boat with the net underneath just in case he or she spits the hook and then it can just fall in to the net if that does by chance happen.How to use a hand net in fishing?
Keep tension on the line, so as to direct his head and the lure away from the mesh. You don't have to lift with just the line, but just control it's head so it can't flop around.
The net is not designed for large fish .It is for small bait fish .
You may want to try a net withbalck rubber mesh, looks less tangle prone. Bass Pro Shops sell them.
