Re: Cast net recommendations

Practice, practice, practice!! Stay with it and you'll learn. I had an uncle that was 5' 7" and 100# soaking wet. He could throw a 10-12' net with the best of them in belly deep water. Many different ways/techniques in throwing one. Welcome and good luck :beer: Same height, but I have 50# on h...

Re: Cast net recommendations

X2, call Tim Wade, he can assist you. Having thrown a net the last 25 years in South FL, and been chasing bait up here for two years, I usually throw a 10ft, 3/8, 1.5lb/ft. Mullet and white bait up here is shallow and seems to run fast, im thinking of going back to an 8 ft, little lighter net to ge...

Re: Cast net recommendations

It depends on what you want to net. Bait? Mullet? And how deep of water you intend to use it. If you just want to learn, a 6' bait net would be a good start. And nets are like anything else, you can spend a little or a lot. Good luck Thank you! I definitely want to catch bait AND mullet... mullet d...

Re: Cast net recommendations

You should also go on Youtube to see some different methods of throwing. I did not realize how many ways to throw a net there are! Weights should not be an issue. Watch some of those videos. There are some kids throwing pretty good size nets. Good luck. That's the plan! Good to know there's a techn...

Re: Cast net recommendations

If a Redfin prank, he's taken it to a whole new level as the email appears to be legitimate and Ms. Partingtington's professional credentials can be found on LinkedIn. Assuming that Redfin's not pulling a prank, welcome to the board Eliza. Hope that you find it to be a respectful place where you ca...

Re: Cast net recommendations

Some of the best nets made are by Tim Wade over in Melbourne FL. They are reasonably priced for the great quality you'll get. You can find his phone number online and he will talk with you about what you will want to net, depth, weight, etc. and will make a net for you or refer you to a tackle stor...

Re: Cast net recommendations

Then you will probably need 2 nets. Mullet nets are usually 1" mesh or larger. Bait nets come in lots of sizes but 3/8" mesh does well for most baits. If your net mesh is too big, you end up with a net full of gilled bait( or they can swim out). Pita to clean out. Different brands offer m...
