Re: Landing Methods/Equipment
Depends on the size of the fish. If a fish is not that big I usually flip him or wind him up with the rod and reel. If the fish is a large then a bridge net or gaff is recommend.

Bridge net overall. Easier to use than a gaff, easier for releasing fish, easier to net and lift big fish.

Just to shut you up 
I would recommend a long handled dip net for rocky jetties.
