    It got very busy with the flounder nets just after you left. Never seen so many cars at the ramp and out by the channel

    Any fish is a good fish to kids, they dont care weather its big or small or spiky or scaley.
    All they care about is catching something.
    We all could learn a bit from our kids in that respect I guess.

    2 of us declined a boys fishing weekend (due to being overseas for work for the last couple of weeks).
    However, looking at weather forecast last night, a plan was hatched - take the kids fishing! - get to fish AND brownie points gained

    Bloody great day out, kids loved it and caught a few.

    My snapper sense was tingling.
    Dropped a net out and suspicions confirmed.
    No more nets till the stags start roaring.

    Get a low one, 6 inch mesh or larger 7-9 mesh deep and tie the thing down every second float so it can only open a foot where tied and mayby 3 foot between ties.
    Nets MUST be over slung to fish well.....cheap arse import nets will not be overslung at all and just dont fish well.
    light mesh fishes better but holes all the time.
    I use a local guy to sling mine when I cant be arsed(which is more and more often) and a local company for parts however there is a company up north that looks the goods,I have not seen any of their nets in person but on the interweb they look the bizo.
    Will find you a link.

    These guys.

    https://www.actionoutdoors.kiwi/epag.../Flounder-Nets

    They know what they are on about and are doing all the right things IMHO (and are bloody cheap!)but as I say I havent seen one in person.

    As a learner driver I would recommend a 30 or 40m net, You are almost certainly going to have a few balls ups learning when and where and when not to set your net and pulling in a 60m full of logs or weed or tangled into one big ball by a couple of 2m rays will put you off for life.
    Also a shorter net allowes you to set in places you cannot legally set a full 60m net.
    It can be very rewarding and hugely frustrating all at the same time.
    I recommend it.
