HOW TO THROW A CAST NET & SET A PINFISH TRAP 🥞🐟 Catch bait in the Florida Keys | Gale Force Twins

Throwing a cast net can be a very good skill to learn if you are trying to catch bait! In this video we show you guys two of the main methods that we use to obtain our bait 🐟 We usually like to throw a cast net on pilchards, mullet or ballyhoo at the reef 🥞 We also love pinfish so we set our pinfish trap on the Gulf side in the Florida Keys with a block of chum in hopes of catching some pinfish! Whether its pinfish, ballyhoo, or mullet it's always great to have live bait with you before going to your fishing spot! 🎣 🚩🚩

Thank you capitanas! I am thibking to preparé a bait trap like that one, also I will try to use your method for cast the net, so far I have never never done.

[@eoinmcmahon1323]

Hi Gale Force Twins. We go on holidays to Marathon for fishing. I think I might have seen you in Bahia Honda. We went in for lunch and you were cleaning fish at the end of the dock. I wasn't aware of your youtube channel at the time but i remember thinking for a boat with fish in it yours was one of the cleanest I've seen. We set pin fish traps on the gulf side and have found that the orientation of the trap doors is important. We use the 2 door type and like the doors facing the flow of the tide ie one facing ocean side and one facing gulf side.

[@GaleForceTwins]

Thank you!! We like to keep our boat nice and clean 😊 that’s definitely true for the traps!

[@MrWorkinguy]

Bait nets are always harder to throw, but for your size I think that it probably the best technique to conserve energy. 👍

[@mrguppy1016]

IT LOOKS THAT IT WAS A BIT CHiLLY 🥶 MORNING 🤣😂🤪👍🏻 great video , girls

Ok after much practice and rewatching y’all’s content I can sometimes throw my cast net in the back yard

[@scottmichael3745]

Bro! This takes some work (practice)! The ladies actually do a Great job of conveying "one" technique. Start with a 6 foot net! This young lady is throwing a monster net compared to us 'amateurs'. Seriously, she makes it look EZ, it's not. It's (remember this!) "IT'S ALL IN THE SPIN!" Your dominent hand throws the net "over" you other hand HAS to remember to throw "under". SPIN! Practice with a small net, and spin. I'm up to say 50% decent net throw. 6th net throw last Wednesday, hit 60 pilchards... used Every Single Bait!!l Caught 30 plus fish. You GOT this bro. Tight lines.

[@louism9790]

It’s a lot harder on flat than if you’re elevated like from a boat or some rocks.

[@xdm40sm]

Once again great video Captains, always very informative, thorough and entertaining. I look forward to your next post. Keep up the great work. Oh when Amanda said she likes to think that she's in the net on her setup. I thought to myself great catch..😂 sorry I had to throw that out there.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

recently got myself a cast net and did some few practice casting and after making several bad casts it made it easy for me to understand how to throw the net properly. did get a few good circles but need more practice b4 using it on the water haha personally i prefer catching livebait with sabiki but the cast net is me trying something different and learning something on the way. the cast net really does strain the arm! just really hope the cast net will make some differences on getting those livebaits!

[@GaleForceTwins]

It will definitely help when there is a lot of bait and you can catch a lot at one time!

[@gastonpettinaroli4351]

just a little pointer to help you open your net better, when you load the first part don't load so much of the net over your shoulder. Fan It only two times and throw that over your shoulder, if you re-watch your video right at 9:51 you can see the part fly off your shoulder and doesn't open up as much because it has too much weight. Just a helpful tip!

[@USEngineProduction]

crazy hard

[@aironnoles5588]

Nice technique but I think if you grab the net further up than the thigh area that you have been grabbing it at , like waist or belly button height , that way you get more swinging action from net to build up momentum for the net to get a full open spread but I haven't tried your technique yet so I could be wrong . All this is for getting the full spread of net , if that's important , which I see you do catch fish so maybe you should just keep doing what you have been doing . I don't get full spread with my quick throw technique but I am ok with that .

[@OfficerDave78]

When are you gonna do a video of throwing a net from the new 33 invincible?

[@refsa01]

You guys are awesome , enjoyed this video a lot , very informative , #AFANALWAYS

[@Rico11b]

Great video, but you need to "STUDY" the castnet throw videos from Lunkerdog Capt. Jeff. It's also much faster to prep for multiple throws if need be. ALSO, when you set the opening for the pinfish trap, set the opening at a slight angle, of 20 degrees or so. With the opening being straight up and down it makes it easier for them to work there way back out of the trap. The angle won't affect them on the way in cause they just slide right through, but it makes it more difficult for them to maneuver and line up when trying to get out of the trap.

[@mustluvkatina]

Great technique for people new to cast netting I just divide the net use my teeth ans heave ho

madcane19 that’s surprising, I’d just keep trying different areas and don’t put it out just before sunset, sometimes I think they don’t bite well at dark

Hi, where do I buy a trap like yours? I looked at Amazon and Cudjoe Sales and didn't see one with 4 sides like yours and accommodates a chum block in the middle. Thank you.

[@GaleForceTwins]

You can buy them down in the keys at most local tackle stores! If not, the two hole will work just fine. I would definitely make sure you get one with a spot for a block of chum.

Maybe next time use a bag with your chum. It will keep the chum concentrated in the trap and not let all of it wash away! When it washes away there is no reason for the pinfish to go in they can just wait for the chum to flow through!
