would it work if i tied milk bottles between every 8 ft gap on my standard bottom fishing nets with 70g corks spaced every 8ft?

so having 190g floats spaced every 2ft is too much buoyancy?

30 meshes deep

the net i was looking getting would be 9.5 foot deep and rigged by half, i will not be using the net in anymore than 8 foot of water sometimes higher maybe 9 to 12ft of water on the big spring tides.

im looking at buying a gill net with 190g floats spaced every 2ft with a number 4 leadline and a 4 3/4 inch multi mono mesh. i usually use a net with a number 3 leadline and 70g floats spaced every 8ft, but in anything higher than a neap tide in my area which ranges from about 3ft to 5 and half foot of water the net doesn't float. last year an old boy was using a net with a heavy leadline and floats spaced every 2 ft and he was well outfishing me and his net stayed floating on the higher tides, but i read that its not a good idea to have a net thats too buoyant so im not sure what to do.

i just stake my net out along the mudflats then wait for the tide to come in i dont use a boat.

yeah i know, never got more than 3 bass where i gill net anyway lucky if we got 1 mainly target cod,mullet and flatties where i am

i am just wondering what the law is on recreational gill netting now since they have banned recreational bass fishing
