Hey Zman! I tried it your way and was throwing like a pro nearly everytime. Last time out with the net, the only fish i caught were stupid because nearly every time the net wasn't opening. Came home, found your video and now, . . . . Now i'm deadly with this net! Thanks Zman!!
@MYDELUXEPACKAGE Um, Who are you and what do I care if you believe what I can and cant do. 12' nets are overkill unless you are using it commercially for bait sales... BLOCKED!
Dude, I've seen a ton of these how-to vids on doing this and I have to say this is by far the best one! Nicely presented in recorded the dude learning to do it your way.... much easier!!
i agree me and my brother tried to learn by ourselves and failed and when we found this video we ended up catching all the shrimp and mullet we needed to fish in the gulf
it took me maybe 5 minutes to learn how to throw this way, and now that i have been using this method for two years i have only had 3 throws not open up out of hundreds of casts , thanks manny
You are the MAN! I went out and threw my net PERFECT on the 1st try! All these other vids that tell you to flip your wrist and eat lead, don't work for me at all. This method is SO easy and works great!! Thank you so much for posting this!!
As I type this, approximately 25-30 minutes have elapsed since FIRST watching this video. I went out back and threw my next consistently flawless thanks to ManuelZ and this video! Thanks man! If you're ever in the Rockport or Copano Bay area...look me up!
i still suck at throwing the net but opened it succesfully more times, and yes, did get some finger mullet, and some snook on the finger mullet! thanks!
Great instructions. I was getting inconsistant results with the through the teeth method using a 4 footer, forget about using my 6 footer. I am now throwing perfect circles with both 4 and 6 footers. I am 5'5" so with the 6 footer instead of grabbing the nut I just grab the net almost 2 ft down from the nut and hold everything else the same. Like I said, works great and no mullet scales in my mouth! I'll try using my 8 footer next.
o improve your "castability" and acuracy. Add some more rope to the end of the line (I ADDED 10 FEET) and I can cast it farther, and in deeper water. Actually I added the rope from an old ripped up net I found on the bank.
Any questions or suggestions feel free to ask them here!
Oh yeah don't make face ID's and say my method is "Harder than others" just because you have a video out too! abpg1435.
You find this method the hardest? Seems to me you're just set in your ways and don't welcome change. I showed this method to my Dad and after about 3 (PERFECT) throws my way... He just went back to his way, Same method but throwing the wrong side. once in a while he actually gets it to open/catch bait.
i think you should market a video with your way of throwing ,i have been throwing a net for a year now using the instructions that came with it, it was butt backwards , i tried your way and holy crap it worked perfectly now that i got opening the full circle down im gonna work on precision , i see the neighbors lazy cat as a target he will let me throw anything at him and not move lets see how he likes a net over his head, will write back with results.....thanks ever so much for sharing this vid
update on neighbors cat i caught him 3 out of 4 times he got annoyed and walked away , love the video it helped me out so much i can throw farther and more acurate and it opens full circle every time with your way of throwing .............. i still say you should market this video
hey manny i live in san anto to ey i fish skulls all the time man.your castnet video helped alot i could throw one but this way is very easy thanks man!
This technique is awesome. Watched the video maybe 3 times, went outside took maybe two tries before I went from a crumbled mess to almost completely rounded circle. If your lost and the other put it over your shoulder in your mouth and around your ankles arent working try this!
I used to throw a net as a teenager with what I remember to be a simple method that my cousin quickly taught me. I recently bought a net figuring it would come back to me...it didn't. My fishing friends showed me their ways...over the shoulder, in the teeth, etc. I am like hey, it is only a six foot net. I knew you could just sling it quickly and easily....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND THANX AGAIN !!
I put my 14 foot drop net away cause it was too hard to throw, Think I will get it back out and have a crack at it with your method. Fingers crossed it works
I've caught more fish in nets than on a line, and of all the techniques - and I've tried the lot! - yours is the best. Keep it simple. If anything, I find collecting 2 ends of the 'skirt' in the throwing hand helps. You do one, which works pretty well.
My personal thanks to you, man! I've been struggling on perfecting my castnet technique for two years with the instructions provided with the nets. WHAT A JOKE! I tried it your way and got a perfect spread on the very first throw. You almost can't mess it up.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Sooooo Much. You simplified this so nicely.
