i have recently started going to commercial fisheries and wondered why some dont allow keepnets.
i dont always use a keeepnet but wondered why they are banned in places.
do they actually cause serious harm to fish, if so, how ?
some fisheries allow them in matches, but not for pleasure anglers. i know its needed in a match for obvious reasons but just becaese i dont take part doesnt mean i dont want to see the productivety of my day.
there seems to be a lot of different types of keepnet (carp friendly) etc but most carp are reasonably large so what is the largest fish (of any kind) to keep in these nets.
one a last thing, is it practical to keep all fish i catch in a session in the same net, i dont want perch to attack other fish in the net and so on
i would like to here your opinions on the use of keepnets for angling in general :confused:
