The morning bite was insane. I probably could have caught 50 fish, but that would not be fun. I found birds everywhere and just about every point on up to Grimes had fish that enjoyed the taste of metal. My biggest fish was 27"   Then it was time to test out my new net (Big T). I threw it well but it definitely did not stay open as deep as I was hoping. The bait I was targeting was in 50 fow. I skunked out in the afternoon but the little bastards finally came up to 20 and BIG T nailed em!  Tomorrow I plan to do some Cawwwww then pull some sharks and target BIG FISH! |

Yam, I have heard of guys who thread a ribbon around the bottom of their nets just along the weights to keep them open. Never tried it as I avoid bait slime at all cost, but it may be worth expirementing.

I believe I have heard them called "deep hole" nets. Integrating a 3inch band close to the weights keeps them open longer. I have even seen nets with two bands. One further up towards the horn. The wade nets that have the heavy mono create a lot of resistance and will close faster than the cracker using thinner material. Tim wade gave me the option of thinner and explained this to me. I chose the thicker material so I can pull up trees and large boulders hence clearing the bottom for all of you that don't have the wade net !
If they are really deep do yourself a favor and wait until dark they come up over deep water.

Sent from my XT1080 using proboards I wonder if these help with big gizzards - the tape helps hold the net open, but slows the fall..... giving the bait time to scoot - now when the water get really cold and the bait slows way down, then it may be Game Over! |

Some subscribe to the school of thought that when they are deep the crash of the net hitting the surface so far above them they are less likely to be spooked. No real way of proving that unless you have an underwater camera.
Bottom line throwing deep is a crap shoot and exhausting. It all seems fun and exciting for the first dozen throws and then comes the pain !

Think they were developed for shrimping. You see them in Florida a lot. Throwing in deep water stinks! We tried for awhile last Saturday and ended up in a creek that held some bait in 15-20 ft of water-much easier!

I saw a thread on another board where a guide recommended plastic marking tape wrapped around weight line. He claimed it would keep net spread as it is falling. I think that would probably slow the fall of the net as well.

Fitec makes nets with insoluable tape on the outer edge castnets.com/gs-1500-with-tape.htmlI'd agree it has to slow the fall of the net. Though for deep bait it may help - espicially when they are slow from cold water temps. We really need to take a bunch of nets to a swimming pool, get a few gopros and do so serious study in this topic  |

Go to lake Tahoe and throw them. You can read a beer can label at 100ft. We can do some gambling while we are there  Sent from my XT1080 using proboards |
