That's true but it also makes it easier to remove the fish from the cages by tilting the cage against the shore if you pull it to shore to remove the fish. By pulling it up and at angle you reduce the water volume and concentrate the fish. I use an extendable pole attached to the dip net too.

For my cages that are wider than they are deep I use a winch on the pier to pull the cage up at an angle against the pier to remove fish. What do you do?

I'll be doing that Monday morning and the following Thursday or Friday to move bluegills into two high school systems I built. Not looking forward to doing that in cold weather but due to circumstances beyond my control it came down to his late.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
