Local Net makers?
« on: September 18, 2011, 07:14:54 PM »
Hi all....are there any people on here  that make catch and release nets? Looking to start making a few and it would be nice to talk to someone that has experience with it.

I forget his name but you can try Moby Nets.  Nicest ones I've used by far and made right here in the LML.

Gibbs makes a few.  I bought the cheaper one at A&N for a little over 20 bucks and is big enough for med size springs.  My fishing buddy likes to take pictures you know.

Why would anyone want to teach the competition anything in a small market like BC?

I can't see why any other Net maker would want to help the 'Compitition" but give it a shot.

its called "carrying on a tradition".Pretty bad if someone wouldnt share some information with a person because they think they are going to lose a dollar. I am just wondering about how to string the netting.

Hahahaha... no, it's called "business".  You want to carry on a tradition?  Buy the local netmaker's business from him when he's ready to retire so that they continue to get made.  I'm sure you'll learn all the secrets then.  ;)

If you just want to make some nets for yourself, that's different, and I'm sure some who have "been there done that" would be willing to share some ideas/secrets.

Good luck.
:D
