The majority of the nets run deep like 5 to 7 feet off the bottom, it's always best to go around them but when there are a bunch I usually drive through them you just have to watch very close for the floats do not run over one of those, if you see tons of floats those are the problem nets but they usually don't span very far. Last year I trolled through the fishing nets I was running 40 jets 100 back and never snagged a net with a jet, we did lose I dipsey diver. I don't make a habit of it.
