[quote ParrMark]Nice report and pics Pat. Glad you got some pretty good action.
I see you have a new net. 'Been thinking about something similar myself. How do you like it?[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]I have had that net for a few years and I really like it for C&R fishing, especially for trout and smaller fish. Not so good for wipers and big cats. They don't fit or they flop out. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I put it back in service last week on the trip to Huntington. Those wacky tigers are notorious for doing a death roll when they hit the net. Not good for the fish and takes a lot of time to undo a tandem fly or jig rig. Murder if you are using a crankbait with trebles. The rubber net virtually eliminates those problems.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I did have to remove the fitted rubber grip on the end and shorten the handle to get it to fit into the PVC net tube on my utility rack. But it works fine now.[/#0000ff]
