I've tried several techniques and never really got the hang of it. On the second throw using yours, I threw a perfect circle! Pretty damn excited, actually caught a few shad after that. Thank you!!!
I feel like your videos just get better, more conceptual, and more enthusiastic every time. This one does not disappoint. I'm a taller guy at 6'5...and haven't quite had the balls to stand in my kayak yet. My center of gravity is a bit higher than most as I'm mostly legs. I always net shad from shore before I head out as a result. My goal this year is to learn to throw my net from a seated position. I always seem to get on pods of 6 - 9 inch gizzard shad when I'm on the water (especially at night) and it's time for me to take advantage. Tight lines, brotha!
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment. A lot of people throw from the seated position so I know it can be done. Hopefully you are able to master it this year. Good luck fishing in 2019!
Thanks for ur time brother.. the more cast net videos I can watch the better. Especially when it comes from my favorite RUclipsr !!!! Thanks again brother..... The weather up here in the northeast sucks.. I remember just a couple years ago we had a major drought n the fishing was bad now the rain wont stop.. I can always find n excuse why I can't catch a fish right.....thumbs up
You are the bee's knees Justin! PA just started allowing cast nets on the big rivers in my area which I'm pumped about as I see gizzard shad often but could never use a net to catch them. Now that you showed me the way of the cast net, I'll be out there making it happen! Thanks buddy!
Great video. You are the first one that I have watched throwing a cast net with that style of casting with your fingers open that away. Always nice to learn something new on your channel. Great job Justin
Cast nets are tricky on the kayak, for sure. Great safety reminders. I recently tipped over at a dam tail race while pulling up my anchor. My PFD made life a lot easier, possibly an understatement right there. Good content.
Good video hope ya caught some nice ones. I throw a 7ft out of my ultimate 12 and I found it's best to begin throwing sitting down or on your knees to learn the feel of it before you start to stand and throw. Just ball the net over more and grab more in each hand to throw when sitting.
Thanks! I need to practice throwing from the sitting position. It would be helpful to do that when the water conditions are rough. Thanks for watching!
I am incorporating more bait catching in some future videos. For shad though, I pretty much stick to the backwater areas year round. There is almost always shad back in the creeks and coves here.
Thanks! It was a great net for the price. I got it hung and lost it a few months ago. I have been using a Lee Fisher since then. Much better net but about twice the price as the one in the video.
Thanks. This was a very informative video. One I needed. Because I am not good with a cast net at all. The one I have is made out of stiff nylon. And I don’t like it. I want to get a cotton or something like that.
Very good one!!! I’m decent with a net but I’ve yet to cast from my kayak. Appreciate it brother! U coming to catfish conference? Can’t remember if I asked ya
Thanks, Justin! Why not fasten the net to the kayak instead of the arm when casting? That way if you fall in, you are not fighting the weight of the cast net from drowning you in deeper waters.
That is cool. I had a bait cast net and lost it on a root. If I was Steve Sherron, I would have gotten off the dock and dove under the water and got my net free. (But I haven’t gotten as good as him yet). I’d be nervous casting from a kayak. I’ve got to get a better kayak first. I may get another cast net after seeing this.
It's great being me. A couple days ago I went into my shed and there were 3 trophy sized bass in my kayak and I haven't even been fishing lately. I quit carrying a cast net. I just paddle up to other kayakers and they usually just give me all their bait because of my reputation.
Hello could you please tell me how to measure the mesh size on a cast net,I ordered six 3/8 mesh 12 ft from Amazon and the mesh is huge a gilling the pilchards. Thanks
Truly amazeballs. The good thing is that if you had fallen in the water, I know you have vaseline in your kayak survival kit and you could have made a fire to dry out.
It seems a little weird that your video is number two when I search for "how to throw a cast net from a kayak" and you have 18k views, but the number one video has 1.2k views and is the only video featuring a lady.
I've tried several techniques and never really got the hang of it. On the second throw using yours, I threw a perfect circle! Pretty damn excited, actually caught a few shad after that. Thank you!!!
Awesome! Glad it worked out for you
I appreciate your emphasis on safety.
Many thanks, Justin.
Thanks Terry!
Wow! You learn something new everyday. I never heard of a chain bottom net before. Pretty cool! Thx Justin!
Thanks! This is the first chain net I have ever owned. Seems to throw about the same as a normal lead weight net.
Chain is probably cheaper than the lead. Net leads are unbelievably expensive.

Thanks Michael! I appreciate you watching and hitting the thumbs up button. I am with you on the excuses. I come up with plenty myself lol.
Wow! I have enough trouble throwing a cast net on land, I cannot imagine doing it standing on a kayak. No wonder you emphasize safety! Great video.
Thanks! I have had a lot of requests for this video but I fear someone may get hurt if they aren’t careful.

This worked for me first try with a cheap 6ft net... doing so from a Kayak is the next step... Thanks Justin, love the channel.
Great video. You are the first one that I have watched throwing a cast net with that style of casting with your fingers open that away. Always nice to learn something new on your channel. Great job Justin
Thanks for the video man. I fish the same exact lakes as you, I live in Roane county.
I appreciate you watching. Hope you catch some big ones.

Great tip video, safety always first. Did you catch any catfish or other fish?
Thanks! Yes, I got several cats after I filmed this. It was a pretty good trip.
Thanks. I like your technique. God bless you for sharing this with us.
Love it! Shad is my bait 100% of the time so finding them is step #1 to a good trip. Nice video.
Thanks Garett! Our ever decreasing skipjack population is going to force me into using shad more often.
Do you catch skipjack with that kind of net? Thanks for sharing your videos, really appreciate it.
No. Skipjack are extremely fast swimmers. It would be tough to catch them in a net. I use crappie jigs and spoons for them. Thanks for watching!
Just learning the cast net. Very helpful video. Thanks!
Great video sir. I do have a 5 or 6 foot cast net. You are tough as a lighter knot. Thx for sharing. Tight lines.
Haha! Thanks! I have been called a lot of things but tough as a lighter knot is a first lol.
Kan u do a video on how to find shad in the winter i kant find them in my river....like the viedo keep it up
I am incorporating more bait catching in some future videos. For shad though, I pretty much stick to the backwater areas year round. There is almost always shad back in the creeks and coves here.

Thanks! It was a great net for the price. I got it hung and lost it a few months ago. I have been using a Lee Fisher since then. Much better net but about twice the price as the one in the video.
I need to try the chain net. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
You can be bait man anytime that's pretty good 👌 great video brother 👍
Thanks Deuane!
Never seen a chain bottom net but I'm getting ready to do a net throwing vid as well but I have a lil different throwing technique
This is the first chain bottom net I have owned. It seems to throw and open the same as regular lead weight net so no complaints with it thus far.
Finally!! Something that worked for me. Thank you mak
Great video. I always wanted to learn how to throw one.
Thanks! Hope it helps you learn how to throw a net.
Thanks. This was a very informative video. One I needed. Because I am not good with a cast net at all. The one I have is made out of stiff nylon. And I don’t like it. I want to get a cotton or something like that.
Thanks Samuel! Keep practicing it. Throwing the cast net will get easier with time.
Thank You for the info on the cast net.Great Video.
Thanks James!
There was a big winter kill there a couple years ago, I think. Looks like the shad are doing okay.
We had a big shad kill here last year too. They are prolific spawners so they rebound pretty quickly.
Greetings from Serbia !
Greetings to you as well. Thank you for watching from Serbia!
Greetings to you as well. Thank you for watching from Serbia!
All I can really say is your good I tryed throwing a cast net out of my kayak and did a dive lol 😄
Haha! I have come close to doing the same a few times myself.
Does the chain net seem to tangle less? Thanks for the advice
The manufacturer claims it tangles less but I haven’t really noticed a difference.
Good video. Same way I throw a cast net Pretty easy
Thanks Doug!
Good tips on this one!
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
awesome the shad are thick here rite now im learning thanks
Thanks! Hope you catch a bunch of shad.
Thanks for this video. Really well done.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm going to try that technique thanks
Good luck! Hope it works out for you.
Another helpful video thanks
Thanks Dusty! Glad you found it helpful.
Very good one!!! I’m decent with a net but I’ve yet to cast from my kayak. Appreciate it brother! U coming to catfish conference? Can’t remember if I asked ya
Thanks Scotty! I won't be attending the conference this year. Work has me out of town that weekend.
Great tip 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌
Thanks, Justin! Why not fasten the net to the kayak instead of the arm when casting? That way if you fall in, you are not fighting the weight of the cast net from drowning you in deeper waters.
I hadn’t thought about that. That is a good idea. Thanks for sharing!
Nice net. I’m going to try one
Thanks Lance! Hope it works out for you.
That is cool. I had a bait cast net and lost it on a root. If I was Steve Sherron, I would have gotten off the dock and dove under the water and got my net free. (But I haven’t gotten as good as him yet). I’d be nervous casting from a kayak. I’ve got to get a better kayak first. I may get another cast net after seeing this.
Steve Sherron doesnt have to throw the net. The fish jump out of the water into the net for him. He is the modern day Chuck Norris.
It's great being me. A couple days ago I went into my shed and there were 3 trophy sized bass in my kayak and I haven't even been fishing lately. I quit carrying a cast net. I just paddle up to other kayakers and they usually just give me all their bait because of my reputation.

Thanks
Good info.
Thank you for watching!
Nice technique. Safety First. 😎👍👍
Thanks! Hopefully nobody gets hurt trying to do this.
Do u see the gizzard shad or on your graph or just throw
I am usually throwing really shallow so I don’t see them. I do keep my graph on in case I come across a deeper school though
@@KayakCatfish iam new to the gizzard shad cant seem to find them and the thread fins are small where did you get your net
Good stuff!
great video
Again. I watch one of your videos and I'm educated
Can you throw successfully sitting in the kayak instead of standing up?
Some people probably can but I personally can’t.
Awesome!
I'm gonna take my ass to the bait shop that sound a lil better
I hear ya. If I wasn't so cheap, I would do the same thing.
Man if I could throw that cast net like you I wouldn't be in the bait shop lol
Truly amazeballs. The good thing is that if you had fallen in the water, I know you have vaseline in your kayak survival kit and you could have made a fire to dry out.
Damn right. I need to post that video of the vaseline fire with the Dairy Queen blizzard cup.
Why do you always seem to get one dislike on every video?
Can’t please everybody.
It seems a little weird that your video is number two when I search for "how to throw a cast net from a kayak" and you have 18k views, but the number one video has 1.2k views and is the only video featuring a lady.
I’m surprised it’s ranked as high as number 2
@KayakCatfish you're humble and I respect that, but I've been watching your videos for at least 5 years. You deserve it.
First
Thanks for being #1!
