I believe using a small bait casting net (4' -6' diameter) is legal if you're looking to catch bait, but not stripers. Although, if one of those stripers happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, whose fault is that?
Seriously, bait nets are legal for bait only.
I would try casting a net away from where the bass are feeding, or you'll spook them.
Good luck.
