Cody did an excellent job casting except
we're going to break our antenna you must have at least 70.
and how fast are we going to be able to
throw it again
we can just grab it and if it's already untangled
you can pretty much grab that one third right away
put it here grab that bottom line and you can
already start looking out for the bait for your next throw collect it grab this
now we're going to throw it again oh
there's more bait right there
and you're going to throw the net
forward with your right hand as you pull
0:38
back with your left hand
0:40
and whenever you throw the net forward
0:42
with your right hand you want to throw
0:43
it straight forward not to the right and
0:46
not to the left he looks through the net
0:48
he goes like this
0:50
reaches down
0:51
grabs it puts us over his hand
0:54
just like i'm teaching you guys now he
0:55
grabs the net
0:57
he goes i think i can get his open watch
0:59
this
1:01
throws it catches a ton of mullet in
1:04
deep water with a little five foot net
1:05
first time he ever threw a gas net
1:10

1:12
hello everybody this is captain cody
1:13
with globalfishingreports.com
1:15
today i'm going to be showing you guys
1:17
how to throw a cast net i have two cast
1:19
nuts here i got an eight footer and a
1:21
four footer and i actually have another
1:23
cast net laying over there i'm going to
1:25
show you the two easiest ways to throw
1:27
any size cast net
1:30
let's get to it
1:31
all right from start to finish i'm going
1:33
to throw show you how to throw a cast
1:35
net
1:35
this is the thing that you place on your
1:38
hand this is actually nice because if
1:40
you catch a really big fish this will
1:42
actually sort of pull off or slip off
1:43
kind of easy or probably just break if
1:46
you get pulled in by a really big fish
1:48
or for some reason your line gets
1:49
wrapped in the motor
1:50
and you're going to get pulled into the
1:51
water
1:52
so i always place this on my right hand
1:55
and then we're going to collect the line
1:56
to collect the line
1:58
you just go maybe not a full arm's
2:00
length just a partial arm's length
2:02
and put this in your right hand
2:05
and we're going to collect all of the
2:06
line
2:08
and that's important to just
2:10
have a good starting point
2:13
so we're going to collect all of that
2:15
line
2:16
and then once we collect the line with
2:18
the left hand we're going to grab this
2:20
horn
2:21
and we're going to pull the net straight
2:24
all the way straight out
2:26
and then we're going to take this horn
2:29
and we're going to place it into our
2:31
right hand like that
2:33
then we're going to work the line down
2:35
with your left hand
2:37
and sort of collect the rope but the
2:40
first thing you want to do is you want
2:41
to untangle the net to untangle the net
2:44
you work 100 of the net from one side to
2:46
the other
2:47
to make sure that the lead lines
2:51
are not twisted
2:53
and that none of these lines that close
2:54
the net
2:55
are twisted or pulling funny
2:58
that was pretty good it wasn't too
3:00
tangled
3:01
and now
3:02
you'll take it and you still have it
3:04
collected you'll go right to your hip
3:07
like so
3:10
and whenever you're right at your hip
3:11
you're gonna
3:12
you're actually
3:14
i usually have it like this so it's all
3:16
the way across at your hip
3:18
and then i take that one coil
3:20
and with your right hand you grab
3:22
underneath your left hand
3:24
like that
3:27
now you're almost ready to throw
3:29
but you take your left hand
3:31
and you fan out one third to one half of
3:33
your net
3:34
[Music]
3:35
and you're sort of making sure that the
3:36
net's untangled as you're fanning it
3:41
now that you have one third to one half
3:42
of the net you're going to take your
3:44
left hand you're going to bring it to
3:45
your right hand
3:46
like so
3:48
and you sort of grab it
3:50
with your thumb
3:51
then you come down
3:53
from the front of the net where this one
3:55
line is right here
3:56
you work it down
3:58
and you grab right near the bottom it's
4:00
like one
4:01
one length you're going to place this
4:03
underneath the thumb on your right hand
4:06
like this this sort of just helps to
4:08
start to open the net whenever you're
4:10
throwing it out
4:12
and then you can throw it just like this
4:15
but i just sort of like to collect a
4:16
little bit more line
4:18
and then i sort of pinch
4:19
this lead line
4:21
with my index finger and with my thumb
4:23
and now i'm really ready to throw
4:26
and whenever you throw the net
4:28
it's important how you do it you
4:30
actually kind of do really want to come
4:31
back and swing
4:33
and the nice thing about this method is
4:34
if you're on the boat you can throw over
4:36
things or if you're wading out in deep
4:38
water you can have your net way up here
4:40
and you can throw it out
4:42
so this is the best way to throw a cast
4:44
net that i have found
4:46
now i'm going to show you me throwing it
4:48
and then closing the net
4:51
so we're going to take it we're going to
4:52
swing it out we're going to throw it out
4:54
there
4:54
and it's important that your cast net
4:56
method can throw really far because a
4:58
lot of times the bait isn't sitting
4:59
right in front of you it's actually 20
5:01
feet out so some people think oh i want
5:02
to get a 12 foot net because i'm going
5:04
to catch the most fish well if your
5:06
bait's 30 feet out and your net's only
5:09
24 feet gonna open up 24 feet you're
5:11
still going to miss all the bait on the
5:13
edge so sometimes it's actually better
5:14
to have an eight foot net or a six foot
5:16
net that you can really whip out there
5:19
and i have some four foot nets here and
5:20
i can probably throw those 30 or 40 feet
5:23
and i actually catch a ton of bait just
5:24
in small nets
5:26
but here we go we're going to throw this
5:27
sucker
5:29
so we're going to take it
5:32
that opened up pretty good
5:35
and now once it goes you're going to let
5:37
it sink and if you're in shallow water
5:39
you saw how we're only in about six
5:40
inches of water here if there was bait
5:43
it's going to get trapped almost
5:44
instantly but you can just let it get
5:46
trapped you don't have to like be too
5:47
fast on pulling it in but you always
5:50
sort of collect your line again just
5:51
like you're going to throw it again so
5:53
you're ready to throw next time
5:55
so now you're collecting your line
5:57
and whenever you're going to close the
5:58
net
5:59
you do short little tugs
6:01
to pull it you don't just start yanking
6:03
it too fast because then the net is
6:05
going to pull off and some of the bait's
6:06
going to slide out
6:08
so you just do short little tugs to make
6:10
that
6:11
net close good
6:13
and once it's closed good
6:15
you just make sure it's closed
6:18
and then your bait is all going to get
6:20
collected
6:21
in this part of the net here so you walk
6:24
the net over to wherever you're going to
6:25
put it if you're going to put in a
6:26
bucket or you're going to put in the
6:27
live well of the boat
6:29
and you raise the net back up again and
6:31
that sort of opens it up
6:33
and not only does it open it up but it
6:35
makes it so that you're ready to throw
6:37
next time but again i almost got tangled
6:39
there so you don't want to be tangled so
6:42
now we're actually all ready to throw
6:44
next time after we just dumped our bait
6:45
right okay so let's throw it again how
6:47
fast are we going to be able to throw it
6:48
again
6:49
we can just grab it
6:51
and if it's already untangled
6:53
you can pretty much grab that one-third
6:54
right away
6:55
put it here
6:57
grab that bottom line and you can
6:59
already start looking out for the bait
7:00
for your next throw collect it grab this
7:03
now we're going to throw it again oh
7:04
there's more bait right there
7:07
throw it again see how fast we just got
7:10
that loaded again it's one of the
7:12
fastest methods to load to get those
7:14
nice big openings every time but
7:16
whenever you throw the net
7:18
what you do
7:19
is you swing back
7:21
and you sort of fling this arm out and
7:23
you're trying to get all of these
7:24
weights to start spreading out and once
7:26
they're spreading out you keep a hold of
7:29
this hand and you pull back on it
7:31
and that helps open up the whole net
7:34
now we're going to watch that last throw
7:36
in slow motion so you swing the net back
7:39
and you're going to throw the net
7:40
forward with your right hand as you pull
7:43
back with your left hand
7:45
and whenever you throw the net forward
7:46
with your right hand you want to throw
7:48
it straight forward not to the right and
7:50
not to the left
7:57
the next thing to notice
7:59
is that this net is almost fully open
8:01
and i still have a hold of it with my
8:03
left hand that means the whole time the
8:05
net was opening i was pulling back with
8:07
that left hand which is actually really
8:09
important
8:17
all right when throwing a cast net with
8:18
this method a lot of people ask me my
8:20
net's not opening up all the way what am
8:22
i doing wrong and the first thing i
8:24
usually say is are you making sure your
8:26
net is 100 untangled that's the main
8:28
reason why whenever you throw you think
8:30
you have a pretty good throw but it only
8:32
opens up halfway or throws a banana or
8:35
it opens three quarters of the way it's
8:36
most likely because your net was tangled
8:39
but if your net's not tangled and you're
8:40
still having problems then there's a few
8:43
things you can do to try and modify your
8:44
technique to try and get to open and
8:47
larger circles to get that nice pancake
8:49
effect so we're going to talk about a
8:51
couple of those things
8:53
so the same thing we always do
8:55
because we're going to start just like
8:56
we always do
8:57
and then you can decide how much net to
8:59
collect depending on the size of your
9:01
net if you have a 12 foot net you might
9:03
want to collect a lot more if you've got
9:04
a four foot net you might only need to
9:05
collect a little bit
9:07
so
9:08
you can we're going to try this time
9:10
we're just going to collect a little bit
9:12
this is less than probably a third of
9:13
our net
9:15
and then i'm always going to do this
9:17
step still
9:18
and then with this step you can it's a
9:20
small net just try it like this right so
9:22
we don't even have any more collected
9:24
and maybe that'll open up a little bit
9:26
better let's try this method to see if
9:28
we get it to open in a bigger circle
9:33
[Music]
9:38
see not as great
9:41
kind of opened up maybe three quarters
9:44
all right let's try and modify how we're
9:45
throwing it again but this time we're
9:46
going to collect a whole bunch of the
9:48
net so we're going to collect more than
9:50
half of the net and put it in this right
9:51
hand
9:52
to see how that changes our throw
9:55
so now we've got more than half of our
9:57
net
9:58
and we're going to place this
10:00
right below our thumb
10:02
and then we're going to grab it
10:04
and then we'll collect a little bit of
10:05
net like we normally do as well
10:08
we're gonna pinch this line
10:10
and now we're gonna see how this opens
10:11
up compared to that last three
10:14
[Music]
10:19
that actually opened up halfway decent
10:23
but it still isn't a full full circle
10:26
all right this time i'm actually going
10:27
to teach my dad how to throw this
10:29
eight-foot net using this first method
10:31
that i showed you guys
10:33
so the first thing you do is you place
10:34
that on your right hand
10:37
[Music]
10:39
that's good and then you wind up your
10:40
line
10:40
[Music]
10:43
so he's collecting his line
10:51
yep and then grab the horn and you pull
10:53
the whole net straight
10:54
[Music]
10:57
yep that's pretty good then you grab
10:59
that and you place it right underneath
11:00
your thumb
11:01
just like that yep
11:04
now you're going to with your left hand
11:05
slide it down the net
11:07
you go right to your hip yep and then
11:09
coil it back
11:10
yep hit and place that open up your
11:12
thumb and you place no you don't twist
11:14
it you have your hand the other way yep
11:16
place it like that
11:18
underneath your hand
11:20
i think i was doing the camera all right
11:22
and now you reach down you fan out one
11:24
third of your net
11:27
i actually you i'll show you you pulled
11:29
your hand this way i always pull
11:32
sort of collect it like that with your
11:33
hand open
11:37
all right now you take this you sort of
11:39
twist it and you place it
11:41
underneath your thumb
11:43
yep like that
11:45
correct
11:46
then you reach down and you grab that
11:48
outside line
11:49
[Music]
11:51
yep now you're going to place that
11:52
underneath your thumb
11:54
yep now you're almost ready to throw
11:57
just grab that lead line
11:58
[Music]
12:00
yep whenever you throw you're going to
12:01
swing that right hand out far and pull
12:04
back with the left hand
12:08
[Music]
12:10
nice throw
12:11
oh you're gonna hit me
12:16
that was a good throw
12:26
that one was pretty good
12:28
[Music]
12:38
you can see in the sand
12:40
pretty good circle this is just an
12:42
eight-foot net
12:43
throwing a cast in that just turned nine
12:45
he just learned he only has done two
12:47
casts
12:50
and now he's gonna teach you how to do
12:51
it
12:55
this is a four foot net he's about four
12:57
foot tall
13:00
nope this is a four footer four foot
13:02
radius eight feet diameter
13:04
um so you take this and grab it a little
13:06
bit
13:07
below this yeah
13:09
and then
13:11
you collect a little amount of it like
13:14
this
13:15
and then you turn it like this and then
13:17
you hold it with your thumb
13:18
and then
13:21
you take
13:22
the another of one of these
13:26
and then you hold it with your thumb
13:27
like this
13:28
and then you take this
13:30
and what he wasn't learning what it took
13:32
a while a couple casts to learn is
13:34
throwing it out
13:36
you pull you shoot this out but then you
13:39
need to pull a little bit back and that
13:40
opens the second half yeah you pull it
13:42
back after you let go of the first one
13:46
nice nice
13:50
all right now i'm going to show you the
13:52
easiest way to throw a small cast net
13:54
this cast net is four foot tall i would
13:57
say this method is a really effective
13:59
method for
14:00
to throw if you are one foot taller than
14:03
the net that you're throwing so i'm six
14:05
foot four this is a four foot net so
14:08
this is going to be really easy for me
14:09
to throw with this method
14:12
and right now what i did is i just
14:13
collected the hand line just like i
14:14
would any other time i'm going to throw
14:16
it i'm going to grab the net right at
14:18
the horn with my right hand
14:21
i'm going to follow this down
14:22
and i'm going to grab the outside
14:24
lead line right here
14:26
and what i'm going to do is i'm going to
14:27
bring this
14:29
the horn of the net like that and i'm
14:32
just going to pinch it with my finger
14:34
this is the same way that they did it
14:36
with the easy throw cast net where they
14:37
have that metal ring but just imagine
14:39
there's a metal ring there and you're
14:40
sort of placing this lead line around
14:43
that that metal ring but there's
14:45
actually no need to have the metal ring
14:47
it's actually really inconvenient
14:49
so we have it just like that
14:51
then you follow the outside line down
14:53
and you grab it just like this
14:55
and that's all you do to load your net
14:57
it's really really simple but you can
14:59
see if you have a really tall net you
15:01
wouldn't really be able to throw it
15:02
effectively
15:03
because you wouldn't be able to hold the
15:05
entire net
15:07
but what we do now is we just swing this
15:09
out so whenever we throw we swing this
15:12
out with our right hand and we pull back
15:13
with our left hand
15:15
and this is a really effective method
15:16
for throwing really really far i can
15:19
throw it like this i can actually use
15:21
all of the
15:22
lime the hand line i can throw it so far
15:26
and that's the advantage of these little
15:27
nets a lot of times the bait is just
15:29
sitting way out there it just never
15:30
comes close to where you are because it
15:32
sort of has an idea that you're there
15:34
and is pretty smart
15:36
but i'll show you this this net opening
15:38
up and me throwing it here we go i won't
15:40
throw it that far this time just so you
15:42
can sort of see the mechanisms of how it
15:43
opens up
15:45
i'll just pretend like i'm throwing it
15:46
off a dock and i'm trying to throw it
15:47
really close to the dock right here
15:49
[Music]
15:53
see how easy that was
15:55
i mean it's not a huge net to open up
15:58
but for a little four foot net that's
15:59
all the more that they open no matter
16:01
how you throw them
16:02
all right now i'm going to go start to
16:04
finish on throwing that small cast net
16:06
except for this time i'm going to throw
16:07
it for distance i'm going to throw it
16:08
really really far
16:10
so i'm going to take it i'm going to
16:11
wind up my line
16:12
this net actually has a really long hand
16:14
line i think it's like 35 or 50 feet
16:17
which is actually really nice i don't
16:18
like short hand lines a lot of times if
16:20
it's short you throw it past the hand
16:22
line then the net just closes and you
16:24
don't catch any bait at all so this is a
16:26
nice long hand line so i'm going to grab
16:27
the nut right here
16:29
come down grab it
16:31
throw it over top
16:32
sort of pinch it with my finger or with
16:34
my thumb right here and i'm already
16:36
loaded up and ready to throw this time
16:38
i'm going to whip it way out there like
16:40
i'm trying to catch some mullet that's
16:41
actually just past the sandbar there
16:44
here we go
16:48

16:50
see how far i could throw that
16:52
this net had a long enough hand line i'm
16:53
throwing into the wind
16:55
and i still got a nice wide opening for
16:58
long range that's actually really
17:00
important these little four foot nets
17:02
are really fun they're easy to throw and
17:05
they're great for kids
17:06
and for kids this is i think it's a
17:08
ghost short net it's got a long hand
17:10
line
17:11
and it just has the steel coated weights
17:14
which is nice because your lead's not
17:16
hitting off the boat and hitting off of
17:18
the dock
17:19
so for kids this is a great little nit
17:21
and it's actually good for adults too
17:23
whenever you got bait that's way out
17:25
there and you don't want to catch you
17:26
know a couple hundred pieces of bait you
17:28
just need 20 pieces of bait
17:29
you can just get a little four foot net
17:31
like this this is the easy way to throw
17:33
it
17:34
just gonna take it throw it right over
17:36
our hand here
17:38
i'm gonna pretend like you're the bait
17:40
i'm not gonna throw it over the camera
17:42
just gonna throw it near the camera
17:44
gentle throw nice and easy
17:46
[Applause]
17:48
that opened up perfect for a little
17:49
forefoot net
17:51
and you don't have to struggle to throw
17:53
a throw a cast net that way is so easy
17:56
actually i used to brag to my best
17:58
friend about how good i was at throwing
17:59
nets
18:00
we were actually down in texas and he
18:02
had never thrown a cast net before
18:04
and he just grabs it
18:06
he looks into the net he goes like this
18:09
reaches down
18:10
grabs it puts us over his hand
18:13
just like i'm teaching you guys now he
18:15
grabs the net
18:16
he goes
18:17
i think i can get his open watch this
18:20
throws it catches a ton of mullet in
18:23
deep water with a little five foot net
18:25
first time he ever threw a gas net and
18:27
he never lets me live it down either
18:30
all right this cast net is a four foot
18:32
it's called an easy throw cast net or
18:34
the easy throw method and it actually
18:36
has this ring on it this ring's actually
18:38
annoying but the method itself is
18:40
actually good and it's what i'm going to
18:42
show you on how to throw little cast
18:43
nets what you do
18:45
is you grab the
18:47
ring like this you go straight down
18:49
and you grab the outside lead line
18:52
in this case
18:53
you actually place the lead
18:55
around this ring
18:57
like so
18:59
and now you're actually ready to throw
19:01
you grab
19:02
this lead line right here
19:04
and you're ready to go but this method
19:07
only works for nets that are about one
19:09
foot shorter than you are so i'm six
19:11
foot four this is a four foot net so
19:13
it'll work but if i'm trying to throw a
19:15
six foot net like this it's a huge pain
19:18
and i wouldn't recommend it but i'll
19:20
show you the method just so you guys
19:22
know how it works and if you see these
19:23
you'll know the mechanism behind them i
19:25
wouldn't recommend buying the ring just
19:27
because
19:28
it's just
19:29
kind of doesn't splash as well and sinks
19:32
a little bit slower
19:34
and there's no need to you can just
19:35
place the line over top and grab it the
19:38
same way without using the actual ring
19:41
but it is an easy method to throw you
19:42
just take it and
19:44
sort of throw it out i'll do it one more
19:46
time because it didn't open very good
19:48
grab the bottom line
19:50
and i probably just didn't swing enough
19:51
i didn't put enough effort into that
19:53
last throw that's why it didn't open
19:54
very good
19:57
so you can't get it to open
20:00
but if i you guys just showed you how to
20:02
do it with a four-foot net without a
20:03
ring and it was actually a little bit
20:05
easier and it actually opened up a
20:06
little bit better i would say
20:08
so this is kind of a cool product but
20:10
i wouldn't recommend getting the ring
20:12
but i do really like that basic method
20:14
of throwing a cast net and i actually
20:16
have on my website
20:17
globalfishingreports.com
20:19
i think the article has 23 or 24 best
20:21
cast nets and i have the best cast nets
20:24
for a bunch of different situations like
20:26
this one is eight foot tall
20:28
it's got
20:29
plastic coated steel weights that don't
20:31
sink very fast but if you're in really
20:33
shallow water this is actually a perfect
20:35
net it's easy enough to throw and it
20:37
still catches a lot of bait
20:39
but if you're a charter boat captain or
20:40
something like that you need to just do
20:42
one throw and catch a ton of bait for
20:43
the entire day then you're going to want
20:45
a bigger net like a 12 foot net
20:47
and if you're in deep water you're
20:49
trying to catch mullet or pilchards or
20:51
something and water that's more than
20:53
four feet deep you're going to want to
20:54
get at least one pound of lead per
20:56
radius foot and you're going to want to
20:58
get a nit that's minimum of 8 foot or
21:00
bigger 8 to 12 foot
21:02
it's just a little bit more work to
21:03
throw the bigger nets
21:05
and you can't necessarily throw them as
21:06
far so it's not always an advantage to
21:08
have a big net so this is 3 8 inch mesh
21:11
which is good for bait that is 2 inches
21:12
or bigger
21:14
if it's smaller than two inches it's
21:16
gonna just slip through the cracks or
21:18
their heads gonna get stuck in there
21:19
like a gill net and they're gonna die
21:20
this 3 8 inch mesh is
21:23
for pilchards that's probably the number
21:25
one thing it's used for but it also
21:27
catches all the bigger baits too if
21:28
you're in shallow water
21:30
and for mold or something they actually
21:32
get
21:32
mesh sizes that it's about an inch or a
21:35
bigger square size the diagonal length
21:36
is a little bit longer but you'll use
21:38
those for going deep for really big
21:40
bunker or mullet
21:42
all right we're going gonna see if a
21:43
little eight-foot mec can catch these
21:44
guys i'll wait to the valley who shows
21:46
up
21:49
the answer is no
21:53
we got at least one
21:56

21:58
both i got four five
22:00

22:01
all right yep we got five we're going to
22:03
