I’ve tried to learn to throw a cast net a few different times and a few different ways, and I just never got it. Plus I had very little success and couldn’t throw anything resembling a circle, so I gave up on the cast net. I watched this video today though and idk it just clicked, very simple process, thank you man caught my first thread fin in the cast net today and was thrilled
Captain Mike, I bought my first ever 6' cast net the other day, and I looked for how to videos. Yours was the first one I opened. I tried your method and bang! It worked like a charm! It felt so natural and intuitive. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Thank you! I have had an 8 foot, 3/8" mesh cast net for fifteen years and never used it. I watched your video and practiced your technique over the weekend and took the skiff out today to cast for shrimp. It worked! My casts are not 100% perfect, but the net opens 80% of the way 80% of the time -- good enough, and I am getting better -- and I occasionally get a perfect one. It is a great skill to have. Your video is much appreciated!
I agree, I especially like that I don't have to put lead anywhere near my face. I was throwing pancakes in my front yard and then of course, couldn't get the net to open when i was in the boat... damn pogies were ramming into the side of the boat and I kept coming up empty.
Super quick load, throws well, easy to remember, just taught my 16yo son with this method. About the best cast net video I have seen over the years. Thank you.
I actually thought l was going to have to go to academy cast net throwing training course. Thanks to Captain Mike it really works. I have read the instructions multiple times watch hundreds of videos and none worked. This is the method, works every time. I have even tried the other ways after learning this method and same results as before will not open. Thanks Captain Mike. Your way is the way.
This is by far the easiest way to throw and fully open a 6 to 8 ft net. I’ve tried all possible ways and this is the best. The triple load method is complicated and requires tons of practice and only needed for 10 or 12 foot nets.
Been throwing cast nets for over 40 years but still stuck on method taught by grandfather. Watched many vids and takes lots of free advice but nothing seems to make me better or faster. I've watched your vids on up to an 8' and have been practicing. Very nice and love throwing from right hand forward motion while watching bait. Thank you. I'm definitely going to subscribe and watch more vids Good education without the BS, moves along in at a good pace, I feel like I'm not 8 years old and the educators delivery doesn't confuse people. I watched the vid twice and was in the yard practicing. Thanks again and yes, I will keep watching.
Bro, hands down, best technique for me. I've had my net for a little while and have caught a few bait. It has never really opened. Until l tried your technique. Thanks for the video.

Congratulations this FISHING was incredible, this place reminds me a lot here where I do FISHING in *Brazil.* Hug!!!👍🎣🐠😊
This is by far the best net method I've seen and i would say it took about 5 throws to get it right. I was throwing my 8 footer in the park last week and a guy across the road came over and asked me how i was throwing it so well, he disappeared over to his boat parked in the yard and asked me to teach him with your method. Captain Mike, you are a legend.
I've seen a lot of cast net videos and this one is by far superior. Personally, I have a 5' and use a different technique but I look forward to trying this out to see if I can make more reliable casts.
I put your way to the test on an 8ft castnet. I compared it to another castnet method. Your method was faster loading and opened the net wider. I did it on a brad new net fresh out of the box and not smoking in fabric softener. Very smooth. I live in Indian River County and catching live bait is a must. The mullet run is coming up in September. I have been crushing tarpon at night on live mullet and greenies in the Fort Pierce Inlet area. Your videos are great and I have been recommending them to beginning anglers. Keep it up.
Thank you, Captain Mike. I have started catching a few mullet throwing a 4 foot cast net, but many bad throws and partial opens. I am going to practice you method, I think it is the best I've ever seen.
I've tried for two weeks to get my 6ft net to open. Finally I decided I needed to learn a different method. After loading the net like you showed me, it opened perfect! I was so happy that I took it to the creek and I got some really great catfish bait 👌 Thank you so much for making this video! It's the only reason I can get bait!
Awesome technique! You don’t even look like you’re breaking a sweat. I’ve always admired how effortless you make it look. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I’m itching so bad and can’t wait to give it a try. Gracias!
Great Video Captain Mike! Very clear video, great instruction, step-by-step. I've watched a lot of cast net how-to videos, but your version is the simplest and most clear method I have seen. Went into the front yard and tossed my 5ft net over 20 ft away in the most perfect circle! I was impressed. So much so, I had the confidence to go to the shop and buy a 7 ft net. Can't wait to show off at the boat ramp! Thanks Captain. Keep up the good work!
3 years on and off trying to cast my 9 ft net. Watched several videos, and still couldn’t throw the pancake. UNTIL CAPT MIKE. Gotta tell ya buddy watching your video did it for me. Retired and enjoying fl. Thank you so much. Terry
Captain Mike I just bought my first 8ft cast net. Prior to, never tossed a net. After watching both the step by step and seminar clips over and over, I gave it a try. In a day I was throwing oval, working towards pancakes. For me, the secret was in the secret sauce, took a bit to grasp the concept. You,ve done and excellent job in the tutorial. You officially make throwing a cast net easy for those who will stick with it.
Thank you! This is by far the best vid and technique to get a great spread. I watched a few prior with frustrating results. Take the time to do this step by step, then just throw it-perfection!
Mike! Started using your method a few weeks ago... Been throwing in my pool since. Was making 1 out of 5 good throws... driving my 😜Went back to your vid... figured out right away I was releasing too early... watched again and threw 9 out of 10 beauty’s. (Your SLO-mo’s are awesome!) I’m in my 70’s... so you can even teach an OLD dog new tricks. Great Channel.... Thanks!
Great Video Sir! I can't wait to start practicing tomorrow. One thing I noticed after watching several times, you rotate your right hand from palm up to palm down when crossing your chest. This seems to give the net a little more torque to open and clearly throws the line out of your way to the left. You do this every time, probably without even thinking about it. Thx again for taking the time to teach us.
Absolutely great video Captain Mike. Best way to throw a net I have ever seen and will definitely give it a try. Thank you. Keep up the great instructional videos. My favorite YT channel by far.
Super great, saw bunch of tutorials but when I followed your steps I casted sussessfully 4 times in a row. It never happened to me before. Great job. Thank you very much.
I have been throwing cast nets for over 35 yrs. This is the best way I have ever used a cast net bigger than 5 ft. I have 3 sizes. 5ft, 7ft, and 10ft. it works perfect.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have been searching and watching various ones, and after seeing different methods, yours appears to be the simplest and best. I haven't tested it yet. I plan to try throwing for the first time this weekend, after watching and internalizing this method over and over. Thank you for this thoughtful tutorial!
Hi Mike, I have a 8th footer net since 1993 and I have never learned how to use it, l admit that I have been frustrated with my fishing experience but this is all about patience and leaning techniques from the best and you have a great method for casting,, I casted three times and I had two pancakes, not pretty but it was a circle, and I am practicing in my backyard, thanks again, a I want to learn surf fishing to catch Pampanga, whiting and whatever is good eating, then pier and finally fishing from a boat. I whish you blessings, thanks.
Smoothest, simplest, easiest how to video I've seen man, great job. All the cats I catch will be thanks to you. I'm fresh water so I catch catfish. I use shad, great cat bait. Thanks a bunch
Hands down the best video out there. I’d never thrown one before at all. Watched your video and convinced myself to buy one. Ten min in the backyard doing practice throws before I hit the water was all I needed to feel confident. This technique works awesome. Thanks so much
South Florida native, Been throwing my net the exact same way since I was 6. Always would be soaked in min but constant pancakes lol I found this video a week ago and decided to switch it up, pancake after pancake boys and not soaked at all. Moray don't show the technique as clear as you. You make it simple and easy. Got 5 days in marathon key in about 2 weeks. Looking forward to filling the bait bucket!
Bro knows what he is doing.Ive tried this method after doing it my way for 25 years.I use to put it in my teeth and throw half the net over my shoulder.Now Ill use both ways.Thank you brother
Amazing! I've been trying occasionally for the last year to throw my cast net without success. After watching your video, I can make a perfect circle cast everytime. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Ive watch a LOT of cast net how to's and by far yours is the best. I walked outside and threw it perfectly the first time. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for showing the most understandable throw net video I’ve ever seen. I’m smoking bait now. Thank you so much !!!
Ok, tried the method twice on my lawn which is backed up against a lake here in central Florida. The first couple of tries in the grass went perfect. Moved over to give it a shot off my dock. Had a nice throw and to my surprise pulled up a 15" Largemouth bass. I can testify that the technique works great. Thanks for the video!
At first I was like "wth is this guy doing??? To much work.." Then I proceed to go outside to try this method and couldn't believe how it's fool proof! Amazed, not even that hard! Thanks Cpt Mike!
Thanks Capt Mike. I really appreciate your instructions on how to cast a net. I watched your video and my confidence began rise immediately. I had never cast a net ever. Now, I feel pretty confident when casting my seven footer. I continue to practice each step to ensure my net opens on every cast. Thanks again Sel
Starting to teach myself how to fish salt water and starting from the beginning with catching bait, bought a cast net today, watched your video twice, and had 5 mullet on the first throw! Got a bucket full of bait in about 3 minutes and ready to surf fish tonight! Thank you for the awesome tutorial video brother!
Watched this craft repeatedly.Now,as well as hearing the terminologies and then later doing the INITIAL CAST for practice,I see why it becomes 2nd Nature after awhile.Muscle memory. Awesome training skill.Simple,Short,Demonstrative 👍Thank you Good Sir .27 seconds on a "HOT CAST"..works for me
Great and easiest throwing method I've seen. Saw this same method from an Aussie guy years ago. You can throw a net from a sitting position in a kayak without much trouble using this method. Works great!! The net weights do the work for you.
Probably the best cast net instructional video I’ve seen for that size cast net. And I’ve seen them all. The mullet in the video did their part too. Great vid Capt Mike
How are you good friends. I never used a Cast Net in my life but I want to buy one. Which size must i buy between the four feet, five feet and six feet. Are the five feet and six feet Cast Net good for fishing or the six feet is the best? Thank you in advance
You learn something new every day! Can’t wait to try this technique tomorrow! You have one of the absolute most informative channels on the The Tube, always great info and super easy to follow directions! I just ordered one of your shirts too, I’ll get a hat too if you ever offer fitted hats! Thanks Capt. Mike!
Thank you for this very simple and effective cast net video I learned to toss my net perfectly in about 15 minutes the other guys had me so confused I almost gave up I can’t wait to view more of your stuff
Bro. Thank you so much for this method. Makes it so easy. I wasn’t able to get it to open any other way and the third cast I threw with this method got me a full open. And I’ve thrown it 6 more times after watching and every time worked.
Nice. My buddy got me using a cast net two years ago. I watched several videos and tried many times. I just could not get it right. This video showed the easiest by for. I tried it with my 7 foot net. A good cast every time. Thank you for keeping it simple.
Wanted to drop you a quick note. Until watching this video and learning this method of cast I'd been unable to catch ANY bait. 5 minutes of practice using this method and I no longer need to stop at the bait store. Much thanks for the lesson and keep the videos coming. Learning tons from you.
THANK YOU!!!! This is the Best I've seen and effectively used. I'm new to the Cast Net game and I'm killin' it in the Gulf. I'm from Jersey and I've only fished for less than two years and people ask me, "How do you do that???" And I tell them that I got the technique from ReelReports on RUclips!
I used to throw a net when I was little (and was good at it) but then after years of being away from it and now having dentures I found myself struggling to throw the net properly. I looked at a bunch of other videos on how to do this without putting the lead line in my teeth (lips) and all of the other methods didn't seem to work for me. I came across yours and VOILA! Got it to open close to perfect circle first time which I am sure will only get better with practice. I appreciate the time you took to make this video. Thank you.
Capt. Mike, It's funny, I watched this video last year, followed the steps, and it didn't work on my 7' Betts. Then, your vid popped up again today, and it worked perfectly. I figured it out. I wasn't grabbing the half of the net that crossed over in the middle to make the upper level, but was just letting it hang. When I grabbed it in the middle, to make the "two levels", suddenly it works perfectly every time. Because you just use your arms and shoulders, this method is more tiring, but it works great for lighter nets! I still use the teeth and spin method for my 10 and 12' nets, but I'm about to re-watch your big net videos, and I'm guessing they will work, now that I'm thinking right. Thanks for taking your time to teach others.
How are you Captain Mike. I love your videos because they are very informative. However I have a question. I never used a Cast Net in my life but I want to buy one. As a beginner which size must i buy, between a four feet, a 5 feet or a six feet. Thank you in advance
Where are you located. For beginners I love to get you throwing an 8' right away using the triple-load method. It is effortless and all the net you will need. Check out livebait.com
Watched a plethora of vids on throwing cast nets. This is by far the best. In Texas, the max legal radius is 7FT so instructions perfect for me. thanks!
Captain Mike, I ran across your video as well as a hundred others on throwing a cast net, everyone seems to have their own spin. In the end its what woks for you. Anyhow I tried your method as it seemed about the easiest to load the net than others that had like net in my mouth or two groups of led on over each shoulder. Anyhow I practiced your method for few days and kept thinking what I was doing wrong that I could not consistently get a full spread. In my head I understood that one group of lead had to go one direction the other group another and the leading end in your hand had to trail so it was forming a triangle in a way as you release to get a full spread. I think the one key component in you video you let out that would get people to catch on quicker is for them to understand do not try to just chuck the net straight out into the water but there is a release method. You must throw and release in a circular motion as you toss so you get the lead leads goin in two different directions as your trailing hand just barely hangs onto the last piece of net. Once I figured that out you loading process is a breeze. After about 4 days of off and on practice I got, throwing an 8ft net, matter of fact I think I could easily throw 12ft net now. Anyway appreciate the video it got me started in the right direction.
Woow! very detailed and simple teaching steps, the whole family appreciate your time and patience for passing this knowledge and expierience. As soon as I watched the video I went to my backyard and the first try, booom! so surprised. Now everone at home wants to throw the cast net!!😂😂 Blessings brother!!
Dudeeee i Know this is a 3 year old video but I just bought a castnet for my 14ft boat and I have never through one of this before. This video has been so helpful I just came back from trying it at the park next door and it just took me a few through and got it right
Excellent technique. I tried several other ways from videos. Should have seen the smile on my face when this one worked the FIRST time! Liked and subscribed! Thank You! Just came back for a refresher course. Love this video!

Super quick load, throws well, easy to remember, just taught my 16yo son with this method. About the best cast net video I have seen over the years. Thank you.
Wow! I’ve been putting 6’ and 7’ cast nets over my shoulder for 20 years. This is amazing. No more wet shoulder! Thanks!
Your videos are the best. Detailed, yet simple.. Thanks Mike. Im glad you share your knowledge so willingly. I appreciate it greatly

Hell the video I watched before this took 8 minutes to describe how to setup the net to throw... 5 minutes in I forgot the first step.
Bro, hands down, best technique for me. I've had my net for a little while and have caught a few bait. It has never really opened. Until l tried your technique. Thanks for the video.
Congratulations this FISHING was incredible, this place reminds me a lot here where I do FISHING in *Brazil.*

Great and easiest throwing method I've seen. Saw this same method from an Aussie guy years ago. You can throw a net from a sitting position in a kayak without much trouble using this method. Works great!! The net weights do the work for you.
Kudos, watched this video and 20 minutes later we loaded the livewell with bait. Next day did it again. Thanks Captain Mike!
Probably the best cast net instructional video I’ve seen for that size cast net. And I’ve seen them all. The mullet in the video did their part too. Great vid Capt Mike
How are you good friends. I never used a Cast Net in my life but I want to buy one. Which size must i buy between the four feet, five feet and six feet.
Are the five feet and six feet Cast Net good for fishing or the six feet is the best?
Thank you in advance
3:50-should have turned right 90 degrees and thrown. I think she was in range.
johnthekiwi I was thinking the same thing
Hopefully, she wasn't Jail-bait! ;)
Lol
how about my method ?
🤣🤣🤣
Have fished for decades and never could figure out how to throw a cast net. This is a genius teaching video. My compliments! Cheers - T👍🏼
You learn something new every day! Can’t wait to try this technique tomorrow! You have one of the absolute most informative channels on the The Tube, always great info and super easy to follow directions! I just ordered one of your shirts too, I’ll get a hat too if you ever offer fitted hats! Thanks Capt. Mike!

Thank you for this very simple and effective cast net video I learned to toss my net perfectly in about 15 minutes the other guys had me so confused I almost gave up I can’t wait to view more of your stuff
Glad to help Nicholas
Great video captain Mike. Really enjoy your videos, very informative and useful. Keep it up
Bro. Thank you so much for this method. Makes it so easy. I wasn’t able to get it to open any other way and the third cast I threw with this method got me a full open. And I’ve thrown it 6 more times after watching and every time worked.
Note for myself when I go practice - 1:45
I’ll need this
Nice. My buddy got me using a cast net two years ago. I watched several videos and tried many times. I just could not get it right. This video showed the easiest by for. I tried it with my 7 foot net. A good cast every time. Thank you for keeping it simple.
Can't wait to get home and try this with my net. I suck at throwing it, think this is a game changer! Incoming sub!
Wanted to drop you a quick note. Until watching this video and learning this method of cast I'd been unable to catch ANY bait. 5 minutes of practice using this method and I no longer need to stop at the bait store. Much thanks for the lesson and keep the videos coming. Learning tons from you.
This technique saved my life! I can now look forward to throwing my net, were before it was banana city! Appreciate the vid!
Hi
THANK YOU!!!! This is the Best I've seen and effectively used. I'm new to the Cast Net game and I'm killin' it in the Gulf. I'm from Jersey and I've only fished for less than two years and people ask me, "How do you do that???" And I tell them that I got the technique from ReelReports on RUclips!
That ain't bait, that's dinner!
@@sski3466 fried or smoked mullet is great. The silver mullet are better than black mullet.
Try some.
Its a blonde tuna
Absolutely would have these for dinner
@@curttimmbch snook are better th

I used to throw a net when I was little (and was good at it) but then after years of being away from it and now having dentures I found myself struggling to throw the net properly. I looked at a bunch of other videos on how to do this without putting the lead line in my teeth (lips) and all of the other methods didn't seem to work for me. I came across yours and VOILA! Got it to open close to perfect circle first time which I am sure will only get better with practice. I appreciate the time you took to make this video. Thank you.
Literally awesome tutorial, however it simply led to me just catching more algae 😢😢😢😅😅
Capt. Mike,
It's funny, I watched this video last year, followed the steps, and it didn't work on my 7' Betts. Then, your vid popped up again today, and it worked perfectly. I figured it out. I wasn't grabbing the half of the net that crossed over in the middle to make the upper level, but was just letting it hang. When I grabbed it in the middle, to make the "two levels", suddenly it works perfectly every time.
Because you just use your arms and shoulders, this method is more tiring, but it works great for lighter nets! I still use the teeth and spin method for my 10 and 12' nets, but I'm about to re-watch your big net videos, and I'm guessing they will work, now that I'm thinking right.
Thanks for taking your time to teach others.
As always great video Cpt. Mike that sure beat the way I was taught. I will be trying that out next time I go.
Keep up the great work.
Hi..
How are you Captain Mike. I love your videos because they are very informative. However I have a question.
I never used a Cast Net in my life but I want to buy one. As a beginner which size must i buy, between a four feet, a 5 feet or a six feet. Thank you in advance
Where are you located. For beginners I love to get you throwing an 8' right away using the triple-load method. It is effortless and all the net you will need. Check out livebait.com
0:45 that ain't bait, that's dinner, lol.
Best throwing tutorial on RUclips hands down
Great video Capt Mike, your good karma was evident on the mullet timing!

Will this work for bigger, heavier bait nets? If not are there any other videos for throwing bigger heavier nets in 5-10’ depth. ?? Thanks
This works good for up to 10 foot nets.
This helped quite a bit with me knowing nothing about saltwater fishing and I’m going on my first trip for my 16 birthday so this is priceless
Best cast net video on RUclips. Right to the point and you caught bait.
Mantaaap 👍👍👍
Watched a plethora of vids on throwing cast nets. This is by far the best. In Texas, the max legal radius is 7FT so instructions perfect for me. thanks!
is there ANYTHING Keanu Reeves can't do??
He literally looks nothing like him.

Captain Mike, I ran across your video as well as a hundred others on throwing a cast net, everyone seems to have their own spin. In the end its what woks for you. Anyhow I tried your method as it seemed about the easiest to load the net than others that had like net in my mouth or two groups of led on over each shoulder. Anyhow I practiced your method for few days and kept thinking what I was doing wrong that I could not consistently get a full spread. In my head I understood that one group of lead had to go one direction the other group another and the leading end in your hand had to trail so it was forming a triangle in a way as you release to get a full spread. I think the one key component in you video you let out that would get people to catch on quicker is for them to understand do not try to just chuck the net straight out into the water but there is a release method. You must throw and release in a circular motion as you toss so you get the lead leads goin in two different directions as your trailing hand just barely hangs onto the last piece of net. Once I figured that out you loading process is a breeze. After about 4 days of off and on practice I got, throwing an 8ft net, matter of fact I think I could easily throw 12ft net now. Anyway appreciate the video it got me started in the right direction.
What size cast net is in your bucket and what bait are you catching?
Throwing an 8 foot and catching mostly fingerling mullet and menhaden.
ReelReports 12 feet ..thanks so much . I am new to this .wish me good luck.
Minnows bait
@@MJIIRYU81 That's my favorite size.

Hi
@@joannagp1190 Hello =)
@@JesusPaidItAll thank you for response ❤
Dudeeee i Know this is a 3 year old video but I just bought a castnet for my 14ft boat and I have never through one of this before. This video has been so helpful I just came back from trying it at the park next door and it just took me a few through and got it right
@6:24 obviously those fish were planted there and are actors.
Excellent technique. I tried several other ways from videos. Should have seen the smile on my face when this one worked the FIRST time! Liked and subscribed! Thank You!
Just came back for a refresher course. Love this video!
