It is my personal observation that fish prefer to stay wet, swimming in water.
You can dry off the herring. I do not believe it works "better" than keeping them wet.
If you are happy with your netting technique, and it works for you, then I'm happy for you. I prefer to have the herring agent do all the work. The herring agent is a highly trained professional, and may keep "scale loss" to a minimum on the herring that is provided.
