Longnetting at night

[netrigger 566]

I ain't used it as much as I would like, but it has served me well whilst in use, a dream to work with..

Have you run a dye through that bill ?.

[smithie 2,424]

I do like and appreciate the effort that goes in to a handmade net but I have some sheet netting 4z or Nelson that just glides along the running lines and believe it or not thats my favourite net and first choice if I put it away correctly after the last outing

I'll not be a real netter much longer, Tonight's my last hurrah. The nets will be put away and I will just plink with the airgun from time to time..

If I get all emotional at the end of the night just kick me into the hedge

That's the shade it came out,, you need to be careful whilst dying nylons, due to shrinkage, the other one of the same material came out a sort of jade shade.
