I'm planning to take the fish I'm hoping to catch in a styrophoam box.
The fish themselves are put in plastic bags ( 1 fish per bag).

Any thoughts on that?

Thanks!

Well...The net was pretty usefull. For about ten minutes.
While fishing in a small junglestream my compagnon cut down a bracnh with his machete. The branch fell on the netpole and broke it right in half.

:)) Sorry, but I have learned the hard way that bait store/ pond store nets don't last 10 seconds under actual field conditions.
