Once you've thrown on a large school of menhaden, a transfer pen is a good way to get your bunkers from your net to the live well without dumping them on the deck. www.stowpen.com

  • IS that an old mako?

  • @pcolalongfellow

    It is almost identical in layout to a 25' Mako. Its a 28 Master Marine.

  • Also you said in the video you had a sardine cast net. Basically to catch small bait fish that the bigger cast nets cant do. Can you buy those cast nets at a fishing store? I never seen em

  • @xSkaterxDorkx The sardine net mesh size is 1/4" (I think I got it from River Marine Supply). I was using a 8' True Spread (by West Coast Nets).

  • The transfer net I'm using is made by Stowpen (me). I got the idea for this a couple of years ago....I got tired on menhaden oil on the decks. I couldn't find any products like this in the stores so I started making them.

  • @pcolalongfellow what is the name of the net that he puts the fish in when he catches them

  • how big is that mesh?

  • it like that one he let free calls a sailfish...ATTACKKK XD

  • Or you could just dump all the bait from the cast net directly to the livewell. But your video is still great.

  • @studdgage looks like an old mako to me

  • I like the way you operate, esp the part about releasing what you dont intend to use that day... The RINSE of the cast net is a nice touch as well, The bunker Stank is definitely in the SLIME. and the net would have stank up the boat later on.. nice video... thanks again. i learned something.. gonna make on of those transfer nets for sure.

  • where did you get that transfer pen?

  • @donb32000 Looks like its made out of a pool noodle and some net?
