Well thats your choice have you ever tried it , if not then do. Go down a day or two before fill them in , then you can see which ones are used and trust me its not many and about 20 nets should easily do it and a good lurcher or two if you have any.. Im not saying im better or this is better but try it .. Its fun and will bag a good few. It doesnt take as long as you think and i personally have no issue with digging.. I just prefer log nets elsewhere . Plus you have more control over the burry..
