First of all Thank you!!!! I've been doing over the shoulder thing for years and I knew it never felt right and I couldn't get a decent circle so i gave up looking on utube. I finally came across your video and on the first throw it was a perfect circle. Now I'm just practicing without watching the video and feeling more and more confident. Good job Captain!!!
Glad to hear it's working for you! Thanks so much for the kind comments!
One of the best explanations and demonstrations, if not the best. Thanks!
Thank you for the kind comments! Glad the video is helpful.
Thank you so much, I now know how to throw a cast net, and I found this to be the most informative video. I a tip for others that may expedite how fast you can effectively throw. The net is focused on when he is releasing the net out of his hand. loading the net was no problem but what I was doing was I was hanging onto the net way too long and it wasn’t opening up but finally I realized that he’s releasing you pretty early and I think that’s the main step in all of the steps is the release. Good luck!
Great comment and helpful tip! Thanks so much!
Jesus Christ.
This is the best video and easiest way understanding on how to cast. 👍👍👍
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite way to toss a castnet. No hokie pokie put it on your shoulders dance. Quick to load and toss. I’ve seen another video of a guy throwing his 12ft just this same way and nothing but pancakes. Great instructions sir, tight lines
Thanks so much!
Extremely helpful and made easy to understand. Thanks
We appreciate the kind words. Glad it was helpful!
Great job Capt!
Thanks so much! Looks like you guys are pretty good at throwing those JuJu cast nets! Wishing you all the best! (Subscribed)
The BEST video about cast net method, my respects
Much appreciated!! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video and great, easy to learn technique!!
Thank you @reellifewithq572! Much appreciated!!
By far the best video on throwing nets 6 feet and over. Thanks very much!!! You took into consideration the performance anxiety that can show its head when well meaning instructors talk about holding on to the net longer with one hand etc. You were smart enough to instruct us to put our non-dominant hand next to our chest before throwing which will by nature allow that part of the net to be released last. Genius!! Thanks again. I could not believe the results.
Thank you so much! No doubt, holding-back briefly on the weight line with your non-dominant hand is key to opening the net. Also, since making the video, we've discovered a way to fine-tune the throw and up the "pancake" percentage! At 2:02 we "overhang" about 16-18 inches of half-net. With so many different net types, net weights, etc. 16-18 inches may not be ideal, and increasing or decreasing that length can fix a lot of partial-opening issues. So glad this method is working for you. Again thanks for watching and for the kind comment!!
I GOT TO TRY THIS TOMORROW MORNING, I USED TO CATCH MAD SCHOOLS OF BAIT FISH AND THEN I STOPPED CASTING AND I SUXX NOW, LOL
Congratulations!!! Best video ever!!!
And without saying a word. I love it. Different angles. Different places. I love it. I will subscribe.
Wow! Thank you for the awesome feedback. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! So many methods. This is by far the easiest! Great video production too. Simple to follow
Thanks so much for the kind comments! Glad you enjoyed it.
That's the same way I throw my 8' Betts Super pro. It's about 1.3lbs per foot. You did a great job explaining it 👍 I think it's a great method, easy and quick to load.
Thanks so much!
Very good...fantastic 💪🥰
Thank you
You're welcome! Thank you.
Super helpful.. thank you much
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video. Appreciate it. Haven't thrown a big net in ages and making sure I'm not missing any new techniques. All still seems status quo. (Other than I'm still laughing at the hold in mouth video.) 🤣
Agree! There was a time when I used the "mouth" technique. It's probably better for open water, but I like this method for the kind of netting we do. Thanks for the comment! Enjoy.
Very simple, thanks
Thank you!
i try this method and work great, i use a 8ft black pearl 1.3, it is heavier but using this, opening is almost perfect for me, i am new on cast net, i notice that for me it is more effective hold the weight line as you explain more seconds and follow the cast net rotation, this affects pretty big the opening of the net for sure. thanks one more time
Glad it's working for you! Thanks for the tip about holding the weight line a little longer. Enjoy!
That was one of the best!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
very well demonstrated
Thanks so much!
Thanks man,the best way
You're welcome! Thank you.
Nicely done...
Thank you!
Works great
That's great! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Glad you're a fogie and not a geezer. The geezers all will be gator food when the water rises!
Nice video sir
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
It works +++
That's great! Thank you for the comment!
เบิ้งมาตั้งหลายคริบบ่อเข้าใจ ต้องไทยบ้านเดียวกันเบิ่งเทือเดียวก็เข้าใจเลนอ้าย
can i throw a 10 foot net with this method? i have a 8 and do it this way bc of this video and it is wore out and id like to move up to a 10 but don't want to learn a new way to throw since I'm a weekend worrier. this video helped me out a ton learning to throw the 8 so thank you for that
I have not tried it with a 10 footer, so I'm not sure. But, I think one of the reasons people use other methods for larger nets is all the extra weight. With this method one arm does most of the work, which works fine up to a point, then it's just too heavy to manage one handed. I actually had an 8' net that was too heavy for this method, and that net got re-purposed into a ballyhoo net! If you try it out on a 10 footer, let us know how it goes! Thanks so much!
I might go ahead and get a 10 footer and try my luck. This method works so good for me on the 8 and it doesn’t take much effort so I’m thinking i will be fine on the 10
Awesome! Good luck!
with this method i caught tons of shad shiners and even 1 6lb pound bass
Awesome!
I've throw several 6 footers with this method and it works great, but I've had less than stellar results with a Betts Blue 8 footer. It opens inconsistent. I've experimented with all the different component parts of the throw and have never had a full 16' pancake. The short version is that I wound up throwing it over some oysters ergo the end of that net lol, so before I buy another I'm curious as to who makes your net? Betts nets are so-so quality and I'm looking to buy a quality 8 footer. Very nice video and well produced, and yes, I'm an old fogie myself lol. I subbed.
Ha! Those oyster beds are a menace. The net in this video had a bunch of oyster-hole repairs, and it had a similar ending - giant tear from submerged structure. We replaced it with an Offshore Angler Ocean Master Premium Cast Net 8ft, 1lb/ft net from Bass Pro (~$140 in 2021). It's a great net for our purposes, and it throws exactly like the net in the video. Regarding pancake throwing, sounds like you've tried a lot, but check 1:58-1:59. The length of that "overhang" can be an effective shape adjustment. BTW, you have a great YT channel, congrats! Thanks for the kind comments fellow fogie.
@@fishingfogies Thanks for the information. You know I didn't really notice the part about the over hang much because I use a little different technique with the 6 footer. Your half over hang is much higher than I usually throw and I usually only thumb 1/2 way down the connecting line. I'll try choking up on split over hang and thumbing the bottom connecting line and try a few throws with my repaired 8 footer. Thanks again for a well produced video!
Sounds like some good tweaks! Let us know how it works out. Thanks again!
Good 👍
Thanks!
Good❤ where are you from
💕 Wow💚💚💚💚💙💚💙
Why are we trending back toward silent movies. Sooooo much more can be conveyed with speech. This is an exact copy of the half, half, half method. Best part is that it still works. 😊
WHEN YOU GOT CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS LIKE THIS MAN SHOWS YOU, SILENCE IS BETTER THAN 1,000 USELESS WORDS, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS SIMPLE
What brand are you throwing?
I'm not sure of the net brand in the video, and it's not around anymore (too many repairs and tears). It was replaced with an Offshore Angler Ocean Master Premium Cast Net, 8-ft. It casts exactly the same, if not a little better (very supple material). Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I need this net
❤
What size net did you use in video?
This was an 8' radius, 1/2'' mesh, 1 pound per foot, meaning the net weighs about 8 pounds. Thanks for the comment!
@@fishingfogies thanks a lot yours is the best demonstration I have found. The water looked lovely where was that filmed 😊
The water scene was shot at the South Carolina coast near Fripp Island. We never really catch a lot of fish there, but it's still one of our favorite places to go! Thanks again!
Can you make a video with a 8ft black pearl 1.65 weight per square ft
Wow, those Black Pearl nets look awesome! Would love to make a video with one of their nets, but unfortunately we don't have one. Maybe they'll see this video and send the Fogies one or two 🙂. Thanks for watching!
Excuse me! Can i have the link to buy these net?
I don't have a link to the net in the video. It was old and patched, and I finally had to retire it because of large rips from oyster shells. But the replacement net is even better! It's a softer material, well made, and it throws better! Here's the link: www.cabelas.com/shop/en/Offshore-Angler-Ocean-Master-Premium-Cast-Net. I chose the 8' Radius - 1/2'' Mesh model (1 lb. per foot). But it's best to match the radius, mesh size, and weight to your particular fishing needs. Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment!
👍👍👏👏👏👏
Does this method have a name? I was able to do this in 3 attempts
That's awesome! Glad it worked for you. The method comes from years of failures, successes, and tweaks, and there's no name. I suppose we could call it the "Fishing Fogies" method 😀. Thanks for the comment!
Not bad at all....Fish on
Thank you!
what is praise Pakistani rupez
Nice 👍👍
Thank you! 👍
Old Fogies Rule
Indeed! Thank you.
@@fishingfogies I have an 8ft Humpback net that I'm struggling with it is 1.6 lbs. per ft. and I just happen to be an old Fogie as well so I can't wait to try your method thanks for the video
The net in this video was 8-ft at 1lb per ft, so it's a bit lighter than yours. But we use this same casting method with a 1.75 lb per ft net, so hopefully it'll work for you! At 2:00 when passing half the net to your opposite hand, we mention gripping at 16-18" above the weight line. Try experimenting with longer and shorter lengths to find what works best for you. Good luck!
@@fishingfogies Yes I did notice that and thanks for the reminder
