[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Thanks dude much appreciated! Hope you have fun on the kayak!

[@jeremykenward3082]

Thank you for making this. Going to pick up a little cast net and give this a shot. Im sure it'll take some practice, but looks like a great addition to my kayak fishing on e i grt the hang of it! Thanks again!

[@mmiadragonz]

Holy wow. I love throwing my net. Now ill try from my kayak!!

[@thomaslziegler]

Very informative. I tried cast netting while sitting with a 4-ft net the other day and it was bad. Your video shows an effective technique that I can't wait to try out. Thanks.

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

I know the struggle but I hope this technique works well for you!

[@thomaslziegler]

@@MakeTimeForFishing I tried it today. My throws weren't quite as nice as yours but I did catch a few mullet. I just need more practice.

Thank you so much. Very helpful!

I just bought a 6' cast net and wasn't sure if I could use if off the kayak. Thank you for sharing.

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

6' will be hard sitting, BUT if you have a stable enough kayak to stand you'll be fine. I throw a 6' standing in my new kayak often.

[@OutdoorScienceDad]

Great tips, thank you. I am going to try this on my kayak on Wednesday with my 4 foot throw net. Out on the open ocean in Santa Cruz California for anchovies and in San Francisco Bay for herring.

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Nice goodluck! Hope it works out for you!

[@FaithNFishing]

Appreciate you sharing this! Simple and effective!

Thanks! That's gotta be hard. That bait knife was lucky! New title: "Cast Net Bait Knife in Leg!"

[@riverwharf]

Thanks for the info man!

[@stevet8121]

A fellow kayaker here on the west coast. I just bought a 3' net for catching anchovies. Thanks for the "how to" video. This will give me confidence to try.

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Right on, goodluck man!

[@MotoStringer]

Nice Video! Is 4' the best size to throw from a kayak? Is 5' too big?

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Thanks man! So 4' was the largest size I was able to consistently get good throws while sitting. I since learned to stand and throw from the kayak and the largest I like to use is 6'

Hella dig the videos brotha. just picked up a kayak killed it the other day at breech. Going to go off the breakers soon for spanish mackerel, heard of quite a few by in the harbor and south end of sullavins. that might make for a pretty dope upcoming video if your into that.

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Thanks man, that sounds like a great time! I'm always looking for some new spots to try out. Out of curiosity, what type of kayak did you pick up?

[@joshuahernandez5700]

@@MakeTimeForFishing picked up an old hobie outback for $200 some old head like 5hr out from charleston cracked a huge hole in it and i made the drive fixed it the next day. now i try to get out as much as possible

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Wow that's a bargain, good find. That must be a beast. I've been taking mine out a lot since I got it and it's been serving me well. Let me know if you have any luck on the Spanish mackerel, I'd love to hear about it!

[@jamesd1184]

Fantastic. That's not near as precarious as I had imagined. Now time to invest in a kayak.

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Awesome, I'm glad this could be useful. Let me know if there are any other tips, tricks or things you'd just like explained better in any future videos!

[@CuttingEdge49]

First step: Have small net. Lol

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Yes that definitely makes it easier. I've used these same steps to throw up to a 6 foot net so it can definitely be done with a larger net. Thanks for watching!
