Net Question
Hey, basic question here.
I need a net. I striper-fish off the rocks on the No. Shore, and I have no net. I've seen all different sizes and colors, handle lengths, etc.
Whats best for what I do?
Thanks Gang.

boGa grips might be the answer because a net is a pain to lug around with you especially when your rock hoppin. Just a thought.
Nets are better used in a boat scenario i think.

they kinda look like a big bull catfish....i was just reading that they are possibly going to be bred in captivity...which is smart..as they are one of the best eating fish. and true sweetieface but if you catch a bluefish it'll flop insanely in a net while you try to unhook it making it a big hassle.think of them as super fingers.
a vice grip for fish. |

Actually - that pic is a SNOOK - on the list for fish I want to catch 
SF - it's a tough call but how high is it from where you fish to the water? I know some really experienced people use a long handled gaff and try to gently gaff the fish in the mouth (if there such a thing as genntly gaffing) so it can be released if necessary....
Berkely makes a "long handled" Lip grip but it's still only 28 inches long...
Tough call and I know I don't need to tell you how important it is to know how you will retrieve a fish. I highly recommend that you invest in a pair of Sospenders or similar http://www.sospenders.com/product/8030381.html just in case...

Raven,
I've heard that a bluefish will eat my fingers clear off if I try to unhook it...and with such little experience, I'm staying as far away from those as humanly possible.
So back to the nets. I should just use basic common sense here...right? didnt know if there was a difference in materials or shape of opening...etc.

I'm new to the site! Hey Guys ! Good to meet fellow fishaholics
Sweetieface
Fishing off the rocks is a challenge (pretty dangerous at night too). I have never fallen in but have had some CLOSE calls. I also have thought about a net in that situation. Basically I was thinking of a net cauz there wasn't a place to land the fish. Anyone else ever think of a long type net?
I think that's a snook? |

Welcome, JWebber, and please don't fall in - especially if you fish alone. TRUST ME on this one.
My old fishing partner used a regular net on a pole. I guess that's what I'll go for...
Going to the tournament on the 21?
