Make a concerted effort to get the bottom of the net as far down and as secure as possible, maybe weighted with chain or similar flexable material, into the sediment. The CC are resourceful and can find ways to get under the blocking net. Fish behind a blocking net are very vulnerable to overhead predation esp birds. Tin pie pans flashing & clanging in the breeze might work well to deter birds.
