Quite a sight
Yesterday evening, while one of the redfish blitzes was going on, I looked around while I was fighting a jack and saw Pescador net a double on bull reds. I wish I'd been able to take a picture of that---I know the reds just lie there when they're whipped, but that was a really cool thing to do.
My new net is really getting a workout and I love it.

Yes I think you do(need to be in good shape)....I need to renet my net....with some heavier material, what it has is lite weight, good for one so far, but anything toothy won't be in it....the last one had nothing but holes after a couple spanish....and was hard to find a replacement net....finally found 1 over at Howell's in Panama city....when we were staying over there fishing that pier....so many years agoBill..............

[size=12pt]I have done the Redfish double a couple times, but I hand the rope to one of the anglers and hold their rod while they pull up the basket load of fish![/size]

Fin---You're smarter than the average bear---or pier rat.
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
