This item would be something of a functional cross between the boats with chests and minecarts with hoppers. The fishing net would have two functions: collecting nearby dropped items and, when the boat is being propelled by a player, 'fishing' in a manner more or less equivalent to a fishing pole. A standard fishing net would have five slots like a hopper, so the boater would probably want to stop periodically to empty the net in case they catch boots or other trash. Possibly there could be one or more additional sizes, like a deluxe fishing net, with nine slots for a correspondingly greater crafting cost. The standard fishing net would not be functional as an item except with a boat and would not have durability, although possibly it could be placed as a decoration, either on a block similar to glow lichen or perhaps as a block like cobwebs (and with similar penalties for moving through it). The optional deluxe model might accept some or all of the same enchantments as fishing poles, have durability, and normal functionality roughly equivalent to a fishing pole. To make it distinct, it could perhaps be cast in the water but keeps 'fishing' (making rolls on the treasure table periodically) until retrieved, or until all slots are filled, or it breaks. Broken nets would drop their contents as normal, while retrieved nets would add their contents to the player's inventory if space is available.
