Usually i just swing em up and lip them while in the air. If i can though, i'll lip them while they are still in the water, but since my canal has a seawall that is about 3 feet higher than the water, it's is not always possible lol. The only place i use a net is in my backyard and on a boat where im not really walking around. Otherwise, i don't feel like carrying a net when im beating the banks.
