Does a landing net catch you in the surf?
Okay... maybe not.
You will get varying opinions about a net. Technically, you are required to carry a net. I have been inspected by the DFG on a number of occasions over the last several years, and they always ask to see the license, and inspect the kayak for catch. They never ask about a net (which I do not carry)
I have never heard of a kayaker getting cited on the ocean or bays for not having a net... perhaps someone has a contradictory story for us all to learn from.
If you do carry a net on the yak, you will never use it.
