How to throw a cast net and catch your own shiners!

I first show how to chum a Hydrilla area for golden shiners with hog food. Then I explain how I prepare the net for the cast. I then explain the exact way I load the net on my body! "Volla" a perfect throw and a bunch shiners! In just an hour or so I've caught 12 dozen shiners worth $288.00 and I'm ready for some big bass with fresher , livelier bait and more bait than probably anyone else around!

Ronald Martin, I am 40yrs old. I never had the opportunity to say to you in person. Thank you for keeping me out of trouble and entertained I'm my youth into adulthood. Because of your Saturday morning TV shows. I am a successful charter business owner along with Other businesses. I say thank you thank you for your dedication in this great sport. Sending virtual hug. God bless 🙌

Roland, I am 72 years old and I have an 8’ cast net that I use along the North Carolina coast and I am amazed at how well you throw your 10’er after those perfect size shiners. Keep casting my friend, you are an inspiration indeed. I loved watching you and Johnny Morris and all the Legends at Table Rock for the US OPEN AMATEUR TOURNAMENT 🎣🤩✊😎

[@DragonAlchemist0]

Been watching this man as well as friends in fishing since i was 5. Roland Martin, Bill Dance, and Jimmy Houstin.

[@brianrobertson7642]

3 of the best fisherman I have ever watched myself

[@stevenquintanillaXYZ]

It’s not often you see a living legend fishing like this! BassPro is lucky to sponsor you!

[@thJune]

Norfolk, VA here. I’ve always used dog food for catching gudgons for saltwater, but damn I have to say that hog feed is probably the most genius idea I’ve ever seen. Roland, you’ve taught me all my life when it comes to fishing and you’re STILL teaching me stuff. You sir, are a legend. I’d love to spend a day on the water with you and just pick your brain while we fish.

[@kochykoo]

I followed Roland Martain fishing shows growing up on TV and got a chance to meet him many years ago when they came up to Highland Park in Deland, FL and shot that show out on the backwaters of lake woodruff. I can honestly tell you his knowledge is priceless and continues to fish like a beast in Florida. His passion is what makes him who he is and what he"s all about...

[@sirfishesalot839]

Best guy on youtube with the best stories and teachings by far!!

[@arciefan]

If I had to come and follow you around for a day I would be flat wore out. Not true, I couldn't do it. No laziness in your body at all. Great cast net tutorial Roland!

[@damian8mac8]

Caught my first peacock bass yesterday in West Boca Raton. Got back to NC a little after 1am this morning and it was 28° 🥶

[@CaptYale68]

Roland BTW Great Video!

[@MrDilligaf59]

Thank you for this video.

[@vandos11]

awesome bait tank

[@johnhayes97]

Oh I wanna see the bloopers lol

[@fiveobob]

Amazing video. God Bless.

[@timschreiber1584]

You can still throw it better than I ever have!

[@memecross8668]

Interesting video! 💋👌

[@baronvongrimm4780]

If Rolland can cast out a 10 footer, you should have no problem with a 16'. Bigger the better, they almost cast themselves. Careful of that shoulder, I know its in your DNA catching shiners.

[@TheMichaelt1987]

I’ve caught some big bass on some bigger shiners than those are and some big shad!

[@sonnyworks4566]

Thanks .Great catch , love your videos, I am Canadian, Toronto I support our local tackle + live bait store at this time pandemic .

[@CaptYale68]

Roland do you put Juice in your live well.? How many times do you cast at same location? What size cast net do you recommend

[@topraider5284]

👍👍

[@White_Tiger93]

can you do right-handed for this net cast?

[@donaldtouchton9523]

👊🏻👊🏻👍

[@raypod6967]

They’re huge , Lol 😂 in nj those are game fish!

[@zackcoggins4467]

24 dollars a dozen ? Wow they are expensive. I have a cast net but I struggle with it I'm sure if I follow your instructions i'll do better thank you for another great and very informative video Roland be safe and God Bless !!!!

[@centraltexasbassin2228]

How do I find out if the lake I fish has shiners?

[@RedneckInCarolina]

Do like he stated, pick several spots, throw out bait etc.

[@TurboB20v]

Why can't you keep the bluegill? Bass won't eat them?

[@RedfishCarolina]

Bluegill are considered a game fish and it's illegal to keep ones caught by net

[@centraltexasbassin2228]

Shiners are only 2.99 per dozen here in central Texas

[@RedneckInCarolina]

Wild or domestic ?

[@kevinhenderson7980]

@Central Texas Bassin Are those shiners or are they fathead minnows? I used to live in Canyon Lake area and bait shops around that lake sold fatheads. Many people called them shiners but they weren’t. Those golden shiners in Florida are like gold apparently, though. I’d be catching my own bait too if I lived there and used live bait.

[@centraltexasbassin2228]

I don't know lol I get um at the bait shop. We have small med large and extra large. I only use them when crappie fishing tho. I really like fishing artificial baits for bass something about catching one with a lute gives me more excitement lol.

[@centraltexasbassin2228]

@@kevinhenderson7980 I'm not sure I only use them for crappie fishing in the spring. Everyone calls them minnows or shinners lol . But most people in Texas also call a blue gill a perch lol

[@theultimatesteelshooter8610]

These are golden shiners, we have the $3/dozen bait here as well in florida but they are not golden shiners …

[@jasonkimes8552]

I am actually confused. I love you your channel but this video left me not sure that I can cast net bait.

[@bob101077]

I was under the influence that there was no trapping or cast netting in the headwaters.

[@tylerhowes3928]

Your not saving any money you still charge your clients full price for the shiners. You just took the money out of someone else’s hands. All these years of fishing and making millions and you have to be that greedy and take money from other people. Shows you what kind of person he is.

[@exconcurly]

What you showed me is you have a hard time adding 15+26, I guess that's why at 81 years old your out catching shiners and guiding,and I guess you would rather spend time in front of a camera instead of with your family.
