Cast Netting

[Vermin Dropper 2]

Right then,

I've ordered a cast net and when it gets here I'll need to know how to cast it?

 

any advise, pictures, videos etc of how to throw one would be great, (from people who actually know how to, and not the keyboard warriors who've "read about it" :ph34r: )

 

happy hunting people,

cheers

i got one about 4 years ago ,6 footer about 1/4 ich mesh ,if you bought it new it should have instructions with it, there quite easy to use but if you throw it a few times you get fairly smelly and wet , i found a few different ways to throw it , so i don,t get covered in stinking crap from the lake bed, saves loads of time trying to catch bait, if you bait up an area for about an hour then throw , you should get stacks of bait with one chuck.

Cheers moley,

there's a guy on "that other site" that has very good results with various fishing nets, he's sending me a dvd on the subject, so in the future I should be getting my live baits sorted early on in the session.

just don,t over do it , i found that once the bait fish have bin in the net they loose quite a few scales and don,t survive for long , also , other anglers don,t like us predator fishers catching "their" fish for bait, but its ok to knock "our " pike on the head

No worries about them surviving mate, I have a small air pump with a 6v battery attached to keep the water in the bucket airated

 

either that or I use a collapsable cray fish trap with the funnels tied off, put the fish in through the zip and hang it in the water,

i keep them in a small net while fishing and have an airator aswell , i was meaning that the net takes of scales and they just don,t seem to last too long , could be stress ??

Gotcha

 

I got a cd-rom form a guy today showing someone demonstrating the technique, looks simple enough, just have to practice when it gets here now,

what would they be like for sprat and sand eels for bass seatrout etc

Excellent for sprat,though nowadays I normally use mine for small freshwater fish when live baiting pike or perch,thats the versatility of these nets mate
