Rubber Fishing NetHello everyone.  I am still around, just get busy in the winter with reffing hockey and with work and do not seem to find the time to get on the blog.  I do need to make more time for this.  Before Christmas my father and I went to the new Canadian Tire here in Riverview and of course I went to the fishing aisle to look at the fishing supplies.  They had different nets there and I saw a nice rubber net that a few of my other fishing buddies use when they go bass and pickerel fishing.  I told my father that I was going to most likely buy one for this coming fishing season.

When we went to my parents house for Christmas dinner they had one more gift for me there and it was the rubber fishing net.  It will certainly make a nice addition to my fishing supplies. Why?  I have used other “regular” fishing nets for anything from trout to pickerel and bass.  Even with small flies I would still get the hook caught up in the mesh and also if the fish is active in the net and moving around a lot it can be quite a hassle to get the fish out safely and getting your fly or other bait out without causing damage to the net.

When I used these rubber nets this past fishing season I was very impressed because the fish never got caught up in the netting and your baits/hooks also never got caught up in the netting.  Right now I still have the 13 foot canoe and am hoping it will not get in the way too much but I am sure James and I will make it work.  I can also bring it along if I go on another person’s boat.  I am also still looking around for an aluminum boat as well.

I am sure we will fill the net with pickerel wants the season starts and I am sure it will help us land some fish that we might otherwise have lost.

If you are in the market for a new net for recreational pickerel and bass fishing I strongly suggest buying a rubber net.
