The net you have will work fine in shallower water. I actually like a smaller net in shallow water because is easier to throw and I can reload and throw much faster.
Deep water is something else. For deep water, you can get a "Deep Hole" net. These nets have a webbing around the perimeters that keeps the nets open as they fall. Will go as deep as 50'. They also have longer lines on them for the deeper water. I use these nets to catch alewives at night under a Green Magnet Fishing Light.
