Suspend your net in the tank for a few days so the fish get used to seeing it.
Don't feed for a couple of days.
Then get ready to catch fish.... add a few bits of food into the net and be patient. Often the less aggressive fish will feed first, but eventually the damsels will get jealous and go into the net.
