So I have been having some success this year with sabiki rigs in MA9 for herring and anchovies. It works but is not super efficient. I have been trying with a dipnet with zero success. Clearly there is a lot I don't understand about the technique. Would anyone be able to share some wisdom starting with specifics about the net. I have a feeling mine might have holes that are too small, causing too much drag. I've been having trouble sourcing one with bigger holes. The regs say 5/8" is the maximum. I assume castnets are prohibited because of their efficiency.

Thanks for any insight.
