IIRC, they actually tried that. There were some test ships that had nets on booms that could be lowered into the water while underway. I don't think they did much with them, but I know at least one skipper claimed (wrongly it it is assumed) to have been thwarted by such a device.

Sub nets were used especially in WWI by capital ship to protect them from torpedoes. There was though a major set back: Travelling speed was down to 3-5 kts so the whole thing was not used in WWII in any way.
