Bruce:

Advantages to having a bag:
> Catch more % of fish
> Provides more room and depth for fish while harvesting. Best way is to use long stakes to hold up the bag making a big bowl.
> Catches jumping fish like lmb, grass carp, and bluegill better

Disadvantages:
> May drag in silt
> Heavy and harder to pull
> More difficult to manage
> Requires more manpower.

We use a soft bagged seine when harvesting bluegill, hsbs, grass carp, lmb...125 ft long with 8x8x8ft bag.


It's ALL about the fish!
