Hey Dave,
I hoop in MB with no problems with my peddles in, the drops are no more than 30' at the most. I like to see whats in my net before it goes into my lap!
so far no problems. I just pick out the keepers and toss them into the dive bag, then toss the rest back to the depths for next year. I have had a couple of tenacious octupussies (sp?)
that were a pain to get out of the net though. The only other issue I have found so far is the rudder can make it's own havoc if others don't manage their lines... 25' of black rope floating on the surface in the dark pisses me off... it's a disaster waiting to happen.
