Cast nets are used to catch
baitfish; Baitfish usually live in schools making cast netting very effective.
Throwing a perfect cast with a cast net takes some practice. Cast nets consist
of net, lead sinkers, and a long string. When the cast net hits the water, the
lead sinkers sink to the bottom. When you pull the cast net towards you to
bring it in, the sinkers all merge together trapping the fish inside the net.
Cast nets come in many different sizes, from three feet to 25 feet. If
you are a beginner, it is easier to start off with a smaller size. The first
thing you are going to want to do when throwing a cast net is to tie the end of
the string around your wrist so you don’t loose the cast net. After you have
done this, in the same hand, put the extra string into 4 or 5 loops and hold
it. Next you take your free hand and grab a sinker at the bottom of the cast
net. With that same hand, grab every third sinker until you have 4 or 5
sinkers. Then take your other hand with the string in it and grab a sinker at
the opposite end of where the sinkers in your other hand are. Finally, you need
to spin your hands back 270 degrees and throw the cast net releasing it when it
is out in front of you. Also, make sure to let the sinkers sink for at least a
few seconds before pulling it in.
