Johnsfolly Posted March 17 Posted March 17 20 hours ago, Daryk Campbell Sr said: For anyone interested. I seen a post on Facebook where someone used a tennis racket to make a fishing net. It looked great. I also have had many times the micros fell back into the water while fumbling with them. I am working to create a net for micros with a badminton racket. I do have a homeade job that extends like an old car antenna. Haven't put it to trials yet. I have a long handled minnow net, but haven't used it much since it is cumbersome to carry especially in the woods. I have seen a few YouTubers using pool or minnow nets to catch those drop off fish.
bfishn Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Cast nets work great for your lunker micros, but the non-lunkers swim right through 3/8 mesh. 😉 Do I get bonus points for using "lunker" twice? FishnDave, Daryk Campbell Sr, tjm and 1 other 1 3 I can't dance like I used to.

You get the GRAND PRIZE 🏆, which is a lunker refund of double the amount of your entry fee into this thread! Congratulations my friend! 😜 🤣 Together, we'll bring back LUNKER from the precipice of archaic neglect! bfishn 1

You stil have to reach out to the end of your rod and lime to scoop them. The length of handle makes a difference as well as the opening of the net. The ultra fine mesh makes it hard to swipe the water also. I'll post pictures of my adapted net.

FishnDave Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 I had one something like this, but an orange net, before I moved. Must have tossed it or gave it away. This one's net is 7"x 8"x 4"deep. https://www.memphisnet.net/product/Baitwell-Dip-Net?srsltid=AfmBOoqI1K61w-oRl2-VPJOU3-x0JZH2B55iUTWnzZnuuvOVw2owkgtOOoU
