On the nets, I was still able to get into the backs of the coves and catch fish. I would just push the rope down and troll over top of it. I took a crap load of pics, but... :sad: Still plenty of coves Steve, but yea, a lot of them are entirely dried up.

Every 30 minutes or so, they would get a new one and go put in in the water somewhere, then come back for another. Those nets really irk me for numerous reasons. The biggest one is that they decimate the fish populations - not only the targeted fish (carp and now bass) but all the species that are in that water. And it's a bad spiral; I think the river is at a point where due to the nets, the netters are catching less fish than before so what do they have to do in order to maintain their catch levels? They put out more nets. The other reasons I don't like those nets is because 50% (or more) of the lures I've lost were due to the nets or the ropes that anchor them, and last but not least, they are ugly and make taking a boat out a hazard.

I noticed a lot more of them down at Andong too. They had gill nets strung across entire cove entrances. :sad: They’re everywhere, and getting worse. I noticed a lot more of them down at Andong too.
