Bait-pen construction question

WaveWalker · 09-19-2005, 08:24 PM

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to find mesh or netting for a bait pen? The pen is fairly large, about 5' long and 3½' high. The frame is complete and the bait is just begging to be caught. I've called around Cape May & Ocean City without any success. The pen is primarily designed to hold spot & croakers, so the mesh size doesn't need to be all that small. I was thinking around 3/4" or so. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.
