On a recent shark fishing trip, I decided to have a go with my cast net in the shallows just for fun. It turns out, all kinds of creatures were out in force!
That was about a 8-10 grade shrimp! Many years ago (at least 40 yrs) I spent one summer buying shrimp right off the boats before daylight at the Seabrook docks and selling them on the roadsides inland. That summer they were really abundant and cheap, and I could double my money. It was a God-send during a very difficult time for me and my family. What was left over from my sales every evening we would eat or freeze. We got very tired of eating shrimp. I am really enjoying your videos from back home. God bless you.
Yo bro, the water in Kingwood has been clear blue with high visibility for the past week or so. You can do some cool sight casting videos for perch and bass right now probably.
Haaa, I like how its just all casual cast netting right now just like any other day...you have absolutely no idea that in just a few minutes you will be in for the fight of your life! 😆
I’m the first person to comment in three months. I’ve been working on my cast netting for about 3 days and caught a crab. I use a method where I put the net over my shoulder.
You can't use a castnet for food? Wow! Here it's one of the most common ways of getting a feed of prawns (shrimp). The big ones (callled leader prawns) will get up over a foot long, but banana, tiger and king prawns are usually 6 to 9 inches long. Bay, estuary and endevour prawns tend to be on the smaller side but sweeter tasting. Sand flats are prime hunting grounds for mullet and whiting, particularly on a rising tide. I've had days where I caught more and better fish in a net than on a line lol. My kids love castnetting.
@@wildlifefishingshow dang. I'm always amazed at the differences that jar with the similarities. Can use a castnet here for a feed but can't use it in freshwater lol.
Ok disregard my comment from b4...lol...my bad.. I was thinking you did the cast net video first, then the stingray thing. Guess I should wait to the end of the video to comment🤪
Greetings again from the Arkansas Ozarks. (1) I got gaffed in the thumb by one of those little hard-head catfish one afternoon while working on a shrimp boat as a deck hand on Trinity Bay. He was about 3 inches long, and it was one most painful experiences I've ever had. The aching pain went right up to my shoulder, and lasted for hours. (2) I think that little striped fish with the huge eyes and mouth you netted was a baby Sheep's Head.
If I uploaded a video of every throw it would be too long to hold anyone's attention. I generally just edit the successful throws in. Sometimes people complain about only showing the successful throws but nobody would watch a video with lots of unsuccessful throws anyway, so not sure why they complain 🤷♂️ (not referring to anyone currently on this thread, just to be clear) To be fair though, I really did catch fish on nearly every throw this day. It was just an epic day.
Are most beaches like this I only cast net at this ship Channel and always get mullet but going to the beach soon and really want to catch bait at the shore
