Netting Bass?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Netting Bass?

Post by River Monster »

Just curious how you guys net a partners bass. Fishing alone you basically guide her in, but when your buddies fish is in your hands to land her how do you net it? . Do you put the net in water and guide the fish in or do you scoop last second? Largemouth seem a bit easier, but smallies on light tackle or skin hooked by a single hook on a jerkbaits are unpredictable.

I kind of stab into the water in front of the fish and guide it in. I find having the net already in the water makes it hard to manoeuvre.

Largies we kind of swim them into the net. Smallies it's more of a fast scoop.

Crane em all... :lol:

For me it's always a quick scoop at the end, I don't let the angler guide the fish to me. If I can get the net at it, she goes in. Most of the time.. :lol:
