Catfish Wire Nets; How to Build The ULTIMATE Wire Net, STEP by STEP (PART 1)

[@perrysanders3614]

Just found your channel. Awesome. I am in my sixties now. I used to knit nets with my grandad when I was a boy and fished them with him. It was so cool to see the process again. I had forgotten some of the steps. Thanks again. Be blessed.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks for watching. Glad you found us. Much more to come!!

[@mikemiller8440]

Thanks for sharing this awesome video with us we really appreciate it

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks for watching, and always helping us out in the comments!!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Man I just want to buy one from you lol. Great work brother.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

I don't sell them, but a couple guys close to me in North Louisiana sell them. When we start running them this winter just come go with us!! Probably be January. Hit me up on FB, Bradley Smith, Marion LA

[@emilypulled312]

Finally caught up for a few days, binge watching your videos. Can’t wait for new content to come out.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

We working on it. Had to skip a couple weeks because this is our craziest time of the year trying to get our hunting stuff in order. Hang in there!!

[@sirwilliam7988]

My dad was a shrimper for years when I was just a baby. I remember growing watching him re tie shrimp nets. That’s been over 50 years ago. It’s a dying art. Glad to see someone still does it. Love your channel by the way.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks. We had two shrimp boats and My dad made shrimp nets as well. Doubt I ever go back to that, but who knows. Liable see us filming shrimping one day🤣

[@BIllMcCambridge]

Thanks for sharing your talents and adventures!!

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Our pleasure!

[@robbietucker7325]

You have the knowledge that My Grandparents took with them to the Grave. Enjoyed this one as always

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks, hope you enjoyed!!

[@robbietucker7325]

I have enjoyed every video yall make

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks, really appreciate you regular followers!!

[@robbietucker7325]

Yes Sir no problem

[@cartailalexander9873]

Facts 💯

[@MobileMC74]

Great video! I have been wanting to see this all summer. These wire traps catch very well and ive wanted to try one with larger throats. Nice meeting you at the grocery store. God bless

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Yes sir, nice meeting you too. Always a pleasure meeting locals who found the channel!! We're gonna be getting the finished net video on there but might be another week. Getting ready for hunting season is in our schedule right now also, lol

[@youroutdoors5453]

If you gave a class on how to make your own netting, I would come to it, just tell me what I need to bring and I will do it. I live in West central Louisiana and would travel to you, all you have to do is say the word. I would love to make a video with you and learn hands on and start making my own nets. Great video, I am now a new subscriber. God bless and see you on the next one.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks, I wish we had time to do something like that, but I don't with work and this. Glad to have ya on board. Hopefully you find enough content on here to get ya started. We will definitely be adding new along those lines as we have time

[@russellverdin8339]

Love the video can't wait till part 2

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks, soon, very soon!!

[@uglyfrog7263]

Really good instructions. Thank you!

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks for watching!!

[@karenmurphy8790]

Awesome video!

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks!

[@drewdouglas4883]

Looking good You can always find something the size you want and wrap your wire around Like some sort of jig

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

That's right, but not sure I'd found anything exactly 8 squares of the wire. 8 squares made it easy doing 40 mesh because of 8 dividing into 40 it worked out perfectly

[@rbrewer9808]

Good video and info. Thanks

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thank you for watching!!

[@joeford7350]

You are very talented, really enjoy your channel! I'm just across the river from you, a little north of Vicksburg.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks, yeah that's not too far from our stomping grounds. Hoping to get on the mighty Mississippi one of these days

[@rodmanning7114]

Good instructional video.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks, had a lot of requests for this one

[@kennethrolison5425]

Thanks for another great video

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Your welcome, Hope to get part two out next week

[@TracyCastleberry-v4j]

i am rewatching this. While I have and fish hoopnets I want to build a couple wire nets. I am going to order the webbing. How many mesh long is your barrel? I will use cattle panel to make mine and want to add 2 extra squares like you did on the other one. I also want to make them about 28 or 30 inches in diameter. These will be my play nets when I don't feel like running 8 or 10 hoopnets. Mainly I fish during the winter I want these so I can throw them out in the spring and summer and run them every two to three days just for the heck of it. Me and my buddy are going to jonesville in a month and pick up a couple cases of block bait. P.S. Thanks for the tip on the roofing tar like idiots we always bought their over priced net dip thinking it was better.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Sounds like a plan, except personally I don't see much benefits from going over size on wire nets. I think your only gonna catch as many as the bait you supply on blues and channels. 20in like this one is a bigger wire net. Those 18s take two people to get in sometimes. On the length I believe it was 30 full mesh long. The part 2 video has that information in it. Good luck with it!!

[@KingSam63]

Been waiting on this. Thank You!!

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Glad we could finally get to it!!

[@lawrencebaradell]

thank you

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks!!

[@L.Wilson1988]

Even in this extreme heat and low water will hoop nets still catch fish. Most of your videos that I have watched talk about water being high. I am fishing Corney Bayou

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

I like current for places like Corney. You might catch a few fish in there with wire nets now, but I never tried. I usually fish the lake with wire nets this time of year

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Right now you have to fish high water column and run every 2 days

[@supertug2005]

Great idea on the cattle panel! It will take some abuse!

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Definitely should hold up

[@samsien9105]

Hay man ; lucky your state allow you to fish with that thing, I new how to do that, but my state not allow, good luck .

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Yeah, it's really no advantage over a hoop net, just easy at times. More states should legalize them

[@Slotlimitbaitsoutdoors]

Good video!!

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks!!

[@danielobriot3116]

When is the part two coming out. thanks for the info .

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Definitely working on it, but I'm having to knit the mesh in my spare time which isn't very often, lol. Hopefully in next couple weeks. Gonna try to finish the net this week and get it to you guys. We couldn't pass up our early net fishing of the year and we just been busy with work and that. Sorry, but it's coming

[@terryclark1952]

Looks like that’ll put fish in hot grease. Can’t wait to see it in action.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Hopefully within a few weeks!!

[@russellverdin8339]

Did you ever finish your wire net trap? And if you did did you video it?

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Not finished yet

[@trinkladd]

You lost me when I had to count past 4. I’m a fisherman. Not a damn rocket scientist. My maths not matching. 😂 JK. But seriously great video. Precise. Easy to follow and to the point. The math was on point as well. Appreciate your upload. This is what KZbin was made for.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Thanks for the feedback!! Appreciate it

[@floydaltonmiller]

Sounds like you have a good plan. Do you ever sell your nets?

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

I don't really have the time to make nets for selling.. There are several local net builders close to us though!!

[@charliesmith9528]

How do you build the throats

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

This video is a throat build. Several of our other net videos also show throat builds. Only difference between hoop net and wire net throats is the way they are tied out at the end. Flat throat or fingered throat

[@josephshaneferguson6561]

is that braided line

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Twisted, but I use braided sometimes for the main lines the throats tie to

[@russellverdin8339]

How many squares did it come out on the new wire trap to give you a 20 in diameter

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Stuck with 40 -1.5in mesh but still working on the barrel. I'll get it together soon

[@russellverdin8339]

You misunderstood my question. My question was how many squares were in The Wire after you bent it into a cylinder another words at the top how many squares were there

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Oh, Sorry. It's 8. 8 is a dividend of 40, so it makes it easy to calculate in how many times between each square. 5 mesh per square with 40 mesh. If use 8 squares even if using concrete wire because of this

[@kimchristian266]

Do you have to have a first throat in a net?

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

I'm hand knitting the barrel for this net. Got about 8 rounds left to complete it and I'll finish up this video. We've just been so busy ending hunting season and starting our net fishing till I have not had time to finish the part 2. Hoping to finish it and get it out in the next 2-3 weeks

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Oh, maybe that didn't answer the question. Yes if you want it to catch well. The first throat is a guide throat. It makes the fish feel comfortable going in a hole, and is big enough not to spook them. Once in that far they either gain enough confidence or bump that front throat if they turn around, then possibly spook and go through the second catch throat. Some call it a tickler throat. For sure without it a lot of fish would just turn and go out

[@tommyphillips7335]

What size twine are you using on these

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

It's #18, but only because that's what I had at the house. #15 would work on them

[@tommyphillips7335]

Ok thanks

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

No problem

[@ppinthewoods3430]

Just found your channel and was quickly becoming a fan until I watched you welding with an open arc in front of your lab. I have a precious dog in the family that is blind and was a rescue from a welder that just didn't care. I hope in your case it wasn't disregard for blinding an animal and you simply didn't think about why you wear a welding helmet. Good luck with your season and channel.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

We're Human. Welding is rare for me and I didn't think about that, and we definitely didn't mean our HOUSE dog any harm. That said, If I got worked up every time someone left the channel over something minor, I'd get worked up bout once a week. Thanks for watching, but it's your loss

[@ppinthewoods3430]

@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 I or nor other commenter is worth getting worked up over. Thanks for the kind reply and I did truly not mean it as an attack nor did I leave the channel. I suspected it was oversight rather than indifference. You actually remind me of myself 50 years ago. I grew up on the TX/LA state line at the coast and built my own hoop nets to use across the river in La.. I still have one hanging on the wall of my place at Whitney. I mainly leave it hanging just to worry/amuse the Game Wardens and clients that visit my boat barn occasionally. They have been illegal here for most of my life. When I hung my first video 13 years ago my first negative comment was about wearing black socks with shorts and it was a crappie cleaning video. I did not respond to it but it has been a great reference for my responses to many things in life way beyond internet interactions. I was really surprised at how many of my very few followers responded in my behalf. Keep making the great videos and I will keep watching. Gods Speed and Tight Lines , Phill

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

@ppinthewoods3430 Phill, thanks for not leaving the channel. Although we have fun, we put a lot of hard work, time, and money into this channel just to hope that soon we even break even. The true reward for us is knowing we helped someone out at some point. We're Building, not tearing down, and no matter the comments, we always reply. It will get harder to do, the bigger we grow. That said, we read every one. Most channels are in it to win it, but we're just doing the things we love to do and introducing some to it. If I remind you of you 50 years ago that would put you at about 96 years of age, cause I'm 46. Either way, glad you got to experience the net fishing. I just don't know enough about Texas waters to justify speaking as to how they manage, but glad to have you Texas viewers. Hopefully our content is enough mix that Texans can also get out and enjoy some of the stuff we do LEGALLY!!! God bless

[@phillpittman587]

@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 You look great for 46. I'm Just a young 73 right now, but at 23 I was sporting a beard much like yours and building hoop nets, raising baby gators to sell to the local dime store, building wooden boats and growing an insufferable fetish for small boats. I am part way through liquidating my already reduced stable of 9 Hobie kayaks and several first issue aluminum boats and canoes as well as my old stable of GoPros etc. from my first kayak fishing channel. . I know all too well how much work goes into producing a well thought out and edited video. I killed most of my channels sometime ago after a diagnosis that changed life for a bit. I will be opening up my main channel again later this summer and am looking forward to doing a few more with a new perspective. The new direction of my channels will be more focused on "why" rather than "how". The alleged overall purpose will be "survival from a woman's viewpoint". I will be getting a lot of hate from dudes thinking they know the real me. Love to grab a cup of coffee with you some day. Take care of yourself and yours. PP

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

@phillpittman587 be sure to let us know when you open your main channel back up. Ironic enough we will be bringing some new content into the channel over the next month or two that will show a glimpse into part of what makes us who we are from some 30 years ago. We're circling back in life 30 years for this one. Parts have been filmed already with a few readers in the shorts. Hopefully we do it justice. 70s used to seam old, but not anymore, lol. Your right, young!!!

[@dj-pizza]

How much would you take for the finished product?

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

I don't sell them, but we have several locals that do sell them

[@michaelwall6871]

What size twine and netting needle i need?

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

#15 is fine on wire nets. I'm using #18 on this one cause I already had the twine. Needle I think is just a 6 in needle

[@michaelwall6871]

Thankyou when will there be a part 2?

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

@michaelwall6871 it's coming, but a couple hunts interrupted finishing it. It's that time of year for us.

[@michaelwall6871]

Can you make full detailed step by step on how to build it?

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

@michaelwall6871 the rest is coming soon as I get a chance to finish the netting. We're filming it, but I'm building the netting by hand

[@AdrenalineTurkeyCall]

You getting all fancy breaking out the the big math on us. I don’t see why that wouldn’t catch a 10 pounder with no problem. That one should last a lifetime.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Pretty sure a 20 lber will go right in!!! That's about the extent of my math🤣🤣

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Ok, we got enough subs I can be honest with ya, lol. What wrong in today's fishing world sir is people that worry too much about how another man fishes, especially if it's within the laws. If you have any care in the world about how another man fishes, you really got no idea how many fish in that water. Livescope has brought what we thought all along to life. I get it in small reservoirs, but in big body's of water like we fish, it's impossible to catch them all out. These same water been fished by commercial fishermen for 100 years and they still there. That's about all I got
