I'm all in on harpooning them now.....

These guys.

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.

Flounder net. I want one. What's the best? And where to buy?


Don't want to tie one myself, until I can with my kids.....(good memories of tying a couple with my granddad)

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.

Finally got out for a fish with my date Mr Dundee, this morning, the river was Abit dirty, no fish, but I enjoy it, nice and sunny for a change.

Good on ya Mrs D

Took @stingray out after work to wet some lines, I reinforced my position as a masterclass spiky dog fisherman.
We know the snaps are there....I have a theory tho....do I have another go to test the theory or bug out north to the gurnard/maybe snapper?

Test the theory @veitnamcam. Nothing more satisfying than when one comes off.

This gets my vote too.

Better to test it than to never know. Those gurnard will still be there later

I'm not worried about you catching sharks as long as @stingray gets a snapper.

I just picked up my boat today from its annual service so its ready to go. Its the boys final soccer game/breakup tomorrow and reps on sun so this weekends buggered.

However that's it for a while for kids sport so I'm eyeing up next weekend as the start of my snapper chasing. Its pretty exciting I tell ya

I'm keen as for a snapper , hockey is done so now it's about hunting the fish with the rod and more so the spear ! Loved a big day out with VC ...he had two solid runs on his stray line , neither stuck ...VC keeps me keen and I love seeing a snapper rise from the murk....next wekend will see lines in the water along with my self back into a suit !! Cannot wait

Rough as guys this morning....
