I used to fish in the back bay regularly for reds, specks, and flounder and have never had or needed a net. Most of these crappie I’ve caught are just barely hooked and I end up ripping there lips when I boat flip them.
The wind is getting old, but I’ve only gone when it’s windy anyway. It’s not going to stop me from fishing. I’ll just find a cut out of the wind.
Sweet! Glad to see succesful reports from the coast. Nets work, but I rarely use them. Maybe i am just not coordinated enough with everything else in the boat

Fishing is a privilege...catching is a bonus. Enjoy each precious moment we have to experience our great outdoors!
