Only thing is I wish I had gone with 5/8" mesh to let some of the smaller shrimp and small pogie out.

Thanks Feesherman. This is the type of info I was looking for. I won't be throwing this net for finger mullet or mud minnows. I have three nets of different radius and mesh that I use for catching bait. This net will be strictly for table shrimp. I think you're right, the 5/8" mesh will let the small stuff thru, and I would rather take a few larger gilled mullet out of a net than 100 2" croaker that are gilled in 3/8" mesh. I'm going to go to that website and see if they have that same net with 5/8". Price wise it looks like a good compromise between a custom made net and the junk you find at Academy. Thanks to everyone for the replies.
