Use the Fastnet Anglers Code

because 90% of all fish lost at landing stage can be caught with the right net.

Always keep your landing net as close to you as you possibly can and never stretch over water.

Don't alert the fish - guide your net into the water before leading the fish.

Don't let the fish touch the rim or it will struggle to escape.

Lie the fish on the bottom of the net bag and raise the net quickly to avoid stressing and damaging the fish.

Grasp the rim of your landing net with both hands and pull towards you with the fish still in the water.
