Has anyone used a net with 3/16" or 1/4" mesh for shallow, small bait? I'm thinking I need one to catch shiners. I've been using a 3/8" mesh, but the smaller 2-4" shiners are able to get through, and then the rest (4-6") end up partially gilled. The mongo shiners don't give any problems, but I'm not always looking for them. If the water wasn't neck deep and swift, I'd use a seine.
Also, who makes the toughest cast net? There is plenty of rocks, boulders and trash in the area. I need a workhorse net.
Anyone got a used one laying around?
