How To Throw A SMALL Cast Net - All About The Bait - Part 1 

Finally someone that really explains how to throw a small castnet. I can now throw a pancake thanks to you.👍👍👍

Man, you're the only person in RU-vid who actually explained how to cast a small net and how it differs from casting a larger one. God bless you, bro

I watched this and about a half dozen casting videos, without sound. Yours is by far the best instruction, with the most simple throwing action. I can't wait to try my new net out. Thanks!

I have watched dozens of cast net videos and yours is the best. Detailed explanation of the process was extremely helpful. Thank you.

I've watched at least a dozen RU-vid videos on throwing a cast net, and Steve's technique is the one that works for me. Thank you...

I’ve watched dozens of videos to try and teach myself to throw a cast net and this is by far the best one out there. Showing the towel and how it opens just made it click for me. Thank you.

I have watched many videos. Yours is the best and easiest to understand. Thank You

The best small net instructional I’ve seen, thanks very much for showing this. Good luck and good fishing.

Great job Steve, that water is crystal clear.

Thanks for the thought you put into this. I watched multiple videos on this, but couldn't get my 6 footer to open. I watched Part 1 with the towel and table illustration, and BINGO, I went out and threw a pancake!

that is the best cast net video iv seen thank you

That technique it’s all I use now thank you so much you were great third keep it up you just earned yourself a new subscriber

Going to pick up my 5 ft today. Gonna practice what u have shown and gonna give it a try tonight on the beach. Great video

Great video. This has to be the best how to cast net video on RU-vid and trust me I've watched them all! Thank you for taking the time to make a great tutorial. Look foward to more.

Thanks. This is the best video I've seen yet on throwing a cast net.

Eureka! Your Towel Throwing instruction was the Epiphany in Cast Net throwing I was searching for.! 👍 I was trying to throw my Right side of the Net over the Right side of the table (or Bait Area) and wondering why my Net would never open up. Thanks! 😸

Simple and effective Thank you Well done

Watched this video after trying unsuccessfully to throw my cast net several times. This showed me what I have been doing wrong. Thanks for the lesson.

You are the best, thanks for sharing

Thanks for such an easy explanation, I never used a cast net before and my 7yr old wanted one for days no fish bite by the pier. Now I can teach him how to use it and I also can take advantage of it for some live bait

Thanks for the video Steve. Just purchased my 5 fter to practice for my 10 day trip in the end of March. The next few weeks will consist of watching Key West Kayak at my office desk and looking like a jabroni throwing a cast net in Lake Michigan.

hey i just noticed but me and you have the same cast net! Now i know this will %100 work on my cast net

Excellent job!!! I will definitely be watching this series a few times...Thanks

This is the scientist of net throwing. After the setup, it important to keep the net tight between your hands to twist the net to spin it

fantastic explanation !!! thank you..

Great video...instruction are simple and to the point...you are a great instructor. Thank you again

Good video brother. Nice job explaining the concept at the start. I had trouble with consistency. Now, I make sure of my hand work and also being 6’3 I also let more net hand from my right hand, and by the time I stretch my arms out my 6’ net s almost open before I throw it.

Best video out there. Not only how, but why! Once I understood the theory it was a piece of cake!

The most better understand thanks

Awesome video man. I've been watching videos and trying to throw a 6ft cast net with 50/50 success on all the other methods I've seen. This looks easier and faster than all the others. Gonna give this way a try. I'm a new subscriber.

It really is all about the bait Steve. Nothing really matters except the bait. Go catch em.

Well somebody actually knows something you watch 20 videos and everyone else is different from the 1st thanks so much for the information and the understanding made so simple

Great video. I have a question. When i take that 2nd part of the net to keep in my left hand for the throw does it matter where i grab that from. Or am i followin it down from the 1st part i put in right han. Man i hope that makes sense

for a new net, do you soak it in fabric softener & warm water?

Great stuff I have to give this a try....Fish on

Absolutely beautiful casting. Very well done sir.

I'm gonna practice more in my backyard....I'm jonesing to fish now! Great vid Steve!

The simplicity is great! I was trying to throw a 5 ft net using a technique maybe more appropriate for a larger net and it wasn’t working for me

Thank you so much for this vid. Very simple to do now.

Hello Steve, awesome video bro thanks for all those technical details in how throw a net, keep those vid coming.👍

Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot and now I can throw pretty good!🤙🤙💪

You my friend are a badass

Great video!

Earned a subscriber and a like, the is best video I have seen yet on throwing a cast net. I got a 6' net that I can throw 2 nice pretty ones in a row and then 10 trash throws and had no idea what I was doing different between throws. This video is best one yet on amount of power as well as how to get the rotation started properly.

Great vid .man .I cannot wait to try , newbie .

i tried a LOT of methods but this one works best for my 5 ft (10ft diameter) Old Salt. First throw was good; second attempt was a circular piece of art.

Thank you for this video! I've been intimidated by cast nets (for whatever reason) but after your instruction I got it down in less than 5 mins.

Really nice work and instruction..Best on youtube

How big are the holes in the net? Small enough to catch and hold 1-2 inch minnows?

Steve, Is this method works for Bottom pocket castnets? Because i'm going to get Bottom pocket castnet if it works.

Good vid! Everyone who's serious about fishing should know that the fish doesn't care what you wear or what fancy gear you own...it's all about the bait! ; )

excellent and simple, thanks

Awesome video bro. It's great that you always give detailed instructions on what you are doing. Keep the videos coming. I share them with people all the time.

Steve, great videos. The entire series is educational. I have only thrown a net a few time in my life and only in my pool. I have totally forgotten what size it was and I would like to start throwing again. I will be throwing from a kayak (fortunately, I have a deck to stand on to make it easier). What size to you recommend? It not like you can go to the store and try them out like a pair of shoes. BTW, I am 6 ft. tall. I only mention that for guidance. I know that there are guys way under 6 ft tall that throw 10 foot nets all day long.

I'm an RN, I've tried throwing a sheet corner to corner, it never works for me. I watch people do it, quite impressively, yet I can never do it. As it happens, I can't throw a net either. What am I doing wrong if the net is getting skinny in the air?

fantastic video, thank you

love your vids Steve you are informative. I lack that! Way to get your teacher on!

My way sucks compared to this. Good detailed and easy to understand instructions. Thanks for this video!

Will this work on an 8 or 10 foot?

Excellent Tips!

so very nice video... I am just think twice to believe because I didn't see the bull after the demo of your towel. lol :D

awesome very helpful thanks

Wow! You truly are living the dream! What you do for a living? I wish I could live in Key West and go fishing as much as you do but I live in Japan and it is nothing like Key West! Great videos man and I enjoy watching them

Question Steve. previous vid you were fishing with Big joe lol, witch bridge you where fishing from? Thanks bro..

WOW! Great Video... Thank you

1st off BEST VIDEO EVER. I thought I would never get it. I actually understand now how to throw a 4 foot cast net (after watching many videos on RU-vid) What 4 foot cast net is the all around best? I just bought a 4 foot Goture American Saltwater Fishing Cast Net...I HATE IT Thanks for finnaly putting a video out that teaches the physics.

I went out with a 9ft 1"mesh and caught a flathead, bream and garfish,and a little squid (I'm in gold coast, Australia). Heaps of fun, I caught the fish I wanted the bait for but next to no bait. I'm thinking throw the target fishes bait in the water then just throw the net on top. I'm only half way through and I like ur full explanation. Thank u.

Great video help a lot thanks I love to see you make video about how to make fish soup

Steve I realize this vid has been out for a while but after I tried many times the right side never seems to completely open. Any suggestion? You know it’s all about the bait!

What brand is your net? I have a five foot net that I can throw so that it lands in a circle but will not lie flat. The center sticks up. Looks like a big witches hat.

Awesome ❤

Perfect

Thanks

شكرا

Thank you steve I know what i was doing wrong now.

What size is that net pls, somebody?

THANK YOU so much !!!!!!!

Awesome video and good info!!!!

Bait...??? Heck, that's DINNER...!!!

I have watched like 90% of the videos you have posted 😂. I have a 16 dusky let's go fishing in the keys im in miami. It's a bully boat but very roomy with a 17 60 etec shallow draft

muito show

Thanks To you, I get it

Awesome

I use nothing less than an 8 foot net otherwise they are to light and harder for me to throw efficiently. I use an 8 or 10 foot Tim Wade net and use the triple load method which I find the easiest.

what size net do you use

I remember my dad would make these bait traps out of light cage metal box shape litle opening 2 x 2 feet hed get a lot of minnows but crabs and slimey things but wed fish all day san diego bay

i tried one where you stick the net in your mooth and i have braces... mistakes were made that day.i really need to think

very detailed explanation sir.. but i honestly didnt plan spending 25 minutes to learn how to throw a net..

Great video...no more putting the nasty net in my mouth!

Great video thank you. The sting ray with the saw nose at the end of the video......that's some code brown scary shizza going on there......yikes!

took ,5 min just to start

It's all about the bait, can't make a strategic plan with no bait.

I'm First

Nice vid man! Please don't take offense to this but are you gay? Just asking since you live in Key west.

Like most videos. Please get to the point, this should be a one minute video

That's a far throw!!

Too much talking just get to the main topic too boring minus well write a book understand!!!

Talks to much. Get to how to throw net.
