Lets get a bit of sense on keep nets no fish over a certain size in length not weight to be put into keep nets .
I have stopped fishing several places because they do not allow keep nets , I like fishing for silvers much more than the bigger stuff why should i have to mess my chosen peg up by having to put every fish back to go tell his buddies just because there are dang carp in the water ..
I always put my fish straight back and being honest it hasn't affected my fishing. The fish have just kept on coming and manys the time i've had repeat captures in a session.
I think the story about fish going back telling their m8's to leave the table is just that...a story/old wives tale.
I wouldn't go so far as to stop the use of keepnets altogether but I do think they're a pointless exercise for a pleasure angler. Obviously if there's a purpose for holding them then that would be different...jmo gent's.
