A place for the net

How many of you guys lay your net in the floor and then step on it and lay things in it I figured out a way to get mine out of the floor I got a spring clip and mounted it to the console and hung it up I have a stalker net that the handle slides into the net. The handle sticks up but it's out of my way. I won't step on it and bend the handle if I need it I just pull on it and it's there. I'll post pics later on.

I like to use nets takes time away from fishing if you don't and it also don't ware (sp) out the fish as bad(my opinion)
plus I'd lose to many if I lipped them.

I have a Ranger and when I'm running I put it under the retractable rod strap...

When I'm "fishin" I put the net over the head of the electric motor. It's really out of the way
except for the end of the handle... most of it's up and over the edge of the boat..

It don't cost nothing to try..

There's a spot in our bass tracker for the light pole and there is just enough space behind it for the net. The handle of the net rests against the carpet under one of the seats. It's out of the way. The only problem is I put my poles there in transit and sometimes I leave lures on. Well that lines right up with the net and can get tangled a little bit.

With my luck, the place where you put it would get hooked or hit mid swing.

I do not have one, but have heard good things about the Hibrenet, and it's on my wish list!

I am fortunate enough that my seat(bench type) will lean forward and my net will lay behind it just fine out of the way.
