Good video! This isn't a tip for distance but a mistake I see a lot is folks making is jerking the net in really fast after the cast. All that does is raise the weights off the bottom and allow some bait to escape. It's best to easily drag the net back in after the cast so the weights stay on the bottom.
In your first video, you talked about getting a tight grip around your wrist by slip-knotting the loop. Depending on where you're casting, I've heard the recommendation not to do that, in case you accidentally net a larger fish/sea mammal who is also feeding your target and get yourself pulled in.
Check out the cast net channel and see how he throws it's really something.. I have been throwing the same way you through for a few years but I really like the way the guy throws on the cast net channel
Actually that's a really good idea. I never thought of that! I think I just found something to do when the winter sets in and I start to get cabin fever because there's nothing to do!
Great video I’ve been teaching myself how to cast a net so this is very helpful
Thanks for the advice
I'll be replaying this video many of times
I have never seen before like that. So, I'll be training to that. Thanks to good tip!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Nice video, I need a casting net forreal
You threw it perfect! Great job

Great point! I used to do that when I first started.
Good tip 👍
Was there any fish in the casting of the net?
Just a few. I was not in the right place when doing this video.
I just add or replace the rope and it throws well that works for me at the jetties

Good point - Where I cast net, there is nothing large. If that is a risk, I would follow your advice!
Longer is better I've heard. I once threw a cast net so hard and long that I had to have surgery to re-attach my arm.
Trout next week!
I throw a 12 foot using that same method gets the job done I also did a video on the method and some clips of me catching bait with it
Can you post a link to your video here?

Thanks for the video. You do something I do not with t the gathering of the weight in the left hand - I need to try your way.
OK I seriously need help with throwing a net lol

Thanks - I'll look! I am always open to a better way!
I love my castnet use my in salt and freshwater .
Dang if you don’t make that look easy.
Practice!
I have never been any good with a cast net!
I had to practice in the backyard.
Actually that's a really good idea. I never thought of that! I think I just found something to do when the winter sets in and I start to get cabin fever because there's nothing to do!
It ends up being a pretty good workout as well! Those nets are heavy!
Never tried, looks intrusting.
