I'm with NIB on this one. I tried a small (legal) gillnet in the Westport river when pogies were too thin to snag and came up with schoolies. After two sets and 6 c+r bass and 2 pogies I quit that program. I felt like "public enemy no.1"- not fun. I like the lightwt trebles over the traditional snag hook- does less damage than the big hooks= more live bait. I have heard the sabikis are an option. I have had a few pogies hit them when trying to gather Hickory shad, but didn't know if it would work consistently...but that would minimize bait mortality if it does pan out.... I haven't become good enough with a castnet to do much more than entertain my friends- I even tried to cheat with the green launcher gizmo...
