I almost tipped my boat yesterday reaching way out there for a bass. Seconds before that I struggled to even reach the net since I kept it at the nose of the boat. I bought a cheap short handled net. One used by river trout fisherpeople.
I needed a longer handle. I like my net. It’s rubber fabric won’t snag hooks bad at all. It was only $14.
so I got to work. $22 worth of stuff from the hardware store, boom! I truly hope it floats .
I had to trim and sand down the handle to fit. JBweld, spray-foam - so it won’t fill with water. (Hate to transport any invasive tiger mussels). Still waiting for the waterproof fishing rod wrap to come in the mail. In the end, I could have probably bought a different net for the same money, but this was kinda fun (to modify)
