I am trying to repair a 9' cast net that a co-worker loaned me and am having a somewhat difficult time finding good info on the knots/information. Does anyone have any good resources? I know Capt. Ron is supposed to be good at "net work" maybe he can provide some helpful information. I would eventually like to make my own net, with premade mono netting.
Below are some photos of what I have done so far. Any input on the type of knots would be appreciated. Also the method of mending the actual mesh mono net. This info could also be applicable to dip nets and frame nets.
I started with the net looking like this.

This is what I ended up with for part of the net. The green line is mine.
Thanks in advance.
