Cast netting for bait

[cabwiz2]

I disagree with the smaller net. If it is thrown to hard it will open and close back. Get a 6" net and practice of the bed of your truck in grass. Catch way more bait or anything for that mater with a partially open 6' than a fully open 4'. They just don't sink fast enough. As far as brand anyone will work for your first one just see if you can find a 5/8 mesh. It will sink faster and alot of poggies will not get stuck in it. Just my 2 cents

I suggest getting a 5' net to begin with. Watch the video's, there are plently. Get a 3/8" monifiliment (sp), a Bett's is a good brand. Get the lead weights, not the steel ones. Practicing in a pool is good too. Hit the weirs if legal, or look for schools of fish. Keep asking around ...such as where can you catch shrimp etc. I have hit the jetties in Cameron for pogies, which are pretty good for flounder, but they're pretty tough to catch at the jetties, but there's not much option around there.
