I gave a 10' net a go a few times this spring.
Rarely were the schools of pogies tight enough to be net friendly. When they were it sure made for a full livewell, and in VERY short order.
Most days I felt more effective with 2 or 3 guys with snag hooks then one in the bow with a net.
The pogies are surprisingly skittish. Then again, no fish in RI other then surface feeding bluefin seems to have to deal with such run and gunning. You have to get fairly close, but often the pogies sound at that point.
The net does result in very nice healthy bait though. The snag hook takes it's toll on the bunker, depending where it was hit.
