[@TommysRaw]

Best tutorial by far. Always struggled to throw the net, and after years of throwing with little results, this just changed everything

[@dr.harkness6070]

I’ve tried to learn to throw a cast net a few different times and a few different ways, and I just never got it. Plus I had very little success and couldn’t throw anything resembling a circle, so I gave up on the cast net. I watched this video today though and idk it just clicked, very simple process, thank you man caught my first thread fin in the cast net today and was thrilled

[@FirstStateFishing]

Really appreciate this video man!

[@markhuskey6757]

Captain Mike, I bought my first ever 6' cast net the other day, and I looked for how to videos. Yours was the first one I opened. I tried your method and bang! It worked like a charm! It felt so natural and intuitive. Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@Gustaf1965]

Thank you! I have had an 8 foot, 3/8" mesh cast net for fifteen years and never used it. I watched your video and practiced your technique over the weekend and took the skiff out today to cast for shrimp. It worked! My casts are not 100% perfect, but the net opens 80% of the way 80% of the time -- good enough, and I am getting better -- and I occasionally get a perfect one. It is a great skill to have. Your video is much appreciated!

[@jobaccamasakado]

Ive seen a million tutorials on YT over the years, but this one is the best, most concise, and easiest to follow. Great vid. Thx!

[@systemfile]

Agree. I love how it he breaks it down into steps and motions. I’ll be able to get this figured out just by saying the steps in my head.

[@TheTurbineEngineer]

I agree, I especially like that I don't have to put lead anywhere near my face. I was throwing pancakes in my front yard and then of course, couldn't get the net to open when i was in the boat... damn pogies were ramming into the side of the boat and I kept coming up empty.

[@lightsnsiren79]

Wow! I’ve been putting 6’ and 7’ cast nets over my shoulder for 20 years. This is amazing. No more wet shoulder! Thanks!

[@cameronjones9320]

This is by far the best net method I've seen and i would say it took about 5 throws to get it right. I was throwing my 8 footer in the park last week and a guy across the road came over and asked me how i was throwing it so well, he disappeared over to his boat parked in the yard and asked me to teach him with your method. Captain Mike, you are a legend.

[@ryanraynor3248]

Super quick load, throws well, easy to remember, just taught my 16yo son with this method. About the best cast net video I have seen over the years. Thank you.

[@hothmobile100]

This is by far the easiest way to throw and fully open a 6 to 8 ft net. I’ve tried all possible ways and this is the best. The triple load method is complicated and requires tons of practice and only needed for 10 or 12 foot nets.

[@Vaderdad]

Hands down, best instructional video on KZbin for learning how to cast fishing net. 100%!

[@ReelReports]

Thanks! Visit Livebait.com & get you one.

[@joserP2009]

Bro, hands down, best technique for me. I've had my net for a little while and have caught a few bait. It has never really opened. Until l tried your technique. Thanks for the video.

Congratulations this FISHING was incredible, this place reminds me a lot here where I do FISHING in *Brazil.* Hug!!!👍🎣🐠😊

[@ryorro]

I agree, this technique works as opposed to many other techniques

[@JamesDBrown-p7v]

I actually thought l was going to have to go to academy cast net throwing training course. Thanks to Captain Mike it really works. I have read the instructions multiple times watch hundreds of videos and none worked. This is the method, works every time. I have even tried the other ways after learning this method and same results as before will not open. Thanks Captain Mike. Your way is the way.

[@natepowell1914]

I went from clueless to intermediate in five minutes watching this, and actually caught some great baitfish. Thanks!

[@michaelcompian4417]

Bro knows what he is doing.Ive tried this method after doing it my way for 25 years.I use to put it in my teeth and throw half the net over my shoulder.Now Ill use both ways.Thank you brother

[@twestcott3048]

3 years on and off trying to cast my 9 ft net. Watched several videos, and still couldn’t throw the pancake. UNTIL CAPT MIKE. Gotta tell ya buddy watching your video did it for me. Retired and enjoying fl. Thank you so much. Terry

[@ReelReports]

Glad to help Terry.

[@7lovefreedom]

@@ReelReports What is better, fishing line or nylon thread?

[@keithhallet9206]

Captain Mike I just bought my first 8ft cast net. Prior to, never tossed a net. After watching both the step by step and seminar clips over and over, I gave it a try. In a day I was throwing oval, working towards pancakes. For me, the secret was in the secret sauce, took a bit to grasp the concept. You,ve done and excellent job in the tutorial. You officially make throwing a cast net easy for those who will stick with it.

[@cincinnatiking8008]

I've tried for two weeks to get my 6ft net to open. Finally I decided I needed to learn a different method. After loading the net like you showed me, it opened perfect! I was so happy that I took it to the creek and I got some really great catfish bait 👌 Thank you so much for making this video! It's the only reason I can get bait!

[@forestgrose9067]

Been throwing cast nets for over 40 years but still stuck on method taught by grandfather. Watched many vids and takes lots of free advice but nothing seems to make me better or faster. I've watched your vids on up to an 8' and have been practicing. Very nice and love throwing from right hand forward motion while watching bait. Thank you. I'm definitely going to subscribe and watch more vids Good education without the BS, moves along in at a good pace, I feel like I'm not 8 years old and the educators delivery doesn't confuse people. I watched the vid twice and was in the yard practicing. Thanks again and yes, I will keep watching.

[@TheTurbineEngineer]

Hell the video I watched before this took 8 minutes to describe how to setup the net to throw... 5 minutes in I forgot the first step.

[@hstetser5376]

Your videos are the best. Detailed, yet simple.. Thanks Mike. Im glad you share your knowledge so willingly. I appreciate it greatly

[@elitesaltwateranglersflori3035]

I put your way to the test on an 8ft castnet. I compared it to another castnet method. Your method was faster loading and opened the net wider. I did it on a brad new net fresh out of the box and not smoking in fabric softener. Very smooth. I live in Indian River County and catching live bait is a must. The mullet run is coming up in September. I have been crushing tarpon at night on live mullet and greenies in the Fort Pierce Inlet area. Your videos are great and I have been recommending them to beginning anglers. Keep it up.

[@johnwhittaker346]

Thank you, Captain Mike. I have started catching a few mullet throwing a 4 foot cast net, but many bad throws and partial opens. I am going to practice you method, I think it is the best I've ever seen.

[@joannagp1190]

Hi

[@Thomas-wj1xt]

Great Video Captain Mike! Very clear video, great instruction, step-by-step. I've watched a lot of cast net how-to videos, but your version is the simplest and most clear method I have seen. Went into the front yard and tossed my 5ft net over 20 ft away in the most perfect circle! I was impressed. So much so, I had the confidence to go to the shop and buy a 7 ft net. Can't wait to show off at the boat ramp! Thanks Captain. Keep up the good work!

[@viejitadelmar540]

Awesome technique! You don’t even look like you’re breaking a sweat. I’ve always admired how effortless you make it look. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I’m itching so bad and can’t wait to give it a try. Gracias!

[@craig5222]

Hands down the best video out there. I’d never thrown one before at all. Watched your video and convinced myself to buy one. Ten min in the backyard doing practice throws before I hit the water was all I needed to feel confident. This technique works awesome. Thanks so much

[@danwalters5054]

Dude: "If you let me catch you for the video I promise I'll let you go." Mullet: "We got you bro."

[@fredwienbarg5051]

I have tried at least 7 or 8 different methods of throwing a cast net. Your method finally works for me. Thank you!

[@brentnanita3939]

I have been throwing cast nets for over 35 yrs. This is the best way I have ever used a cast net bigger than 5 ft. I have 3 sizes. 5ft, 7ft, and 10ft. it works perfect.

[@akrougliak]

Super great, saw bunch of tutorials but when I followed your steps I casted sussessfully 4 times in a row. It never happened to me before. Great job. Thank you very much.

How are you good friends. I never used a Cast Net in my life but I want to buy one. Which size must i buy between the four feet, five feet and six feet. Are the five feet and six feet Cast Net good for fishing or the six feet is the best? Thank you in advance

[@aaronwood3540]

Smoothest, simplest, easiest how to video I've seen man, great job. All the cats I catch will be thanks to you. I'm fresh water so I catch catfish. I use shad, great cat bait. Thanks a bunch

Mike! Started using your method a few weeks ago... Been throwing in my pool since. Was making 1 out of 5 good throws... driving my 😜Went back to your vid... figured out right away I was releasing too early... watched again and threw 9 out of 10 beauty’s. (Your SLO-mo’s are awesome!) I’m in my 70’s... so you can even teach an OLD dog new tricks. Great Channel.... Thanks!

[@MrLargo-ov1fm]

Thank you! This is by far the best vid and technique to get a great spread. I watched a few prior with frustrating results. Take the time to do this step by step, then just throw it-perfection!

[@Downstream2dream]

Thank you for this tutorial. I have been searching and watching various ones, and after seeing different methods, yours appears to be the simplest and best. I haven't tested it yet. I plan to try throwing for the first time this weekend, after watching and internalizing this method over and over. Thank you for this thoughtful tutorial!

[@FirstGearGames]

I've seen a lot of cast net videos and this one is by far superior. Personally, I have a 5' and use a different technique but I look forward to trying this out to see if I can make more reliable casts.

Hi Mike, I have a 8th footer net since 1993 and I have never learned how to use it, l admit that I have been frustrated with my fishing experience but this is all about patience and leaning techniques from the best and you have a great method for casting,, I casted three times and I had two pancakes, not pretty but it was a circle, and I am practicing in my backyard, thanks again, a I want to learn surf fishing to catch Pampanga, whiting and whatever is good eating, then pier and finally fishing from a boat. I whish you blessings, thanks.

[@jeffreyrawlings2759]

Struggled with this for years. Throwing pancakes now. Thanks brother.

[@EM-gr1ps]

Great Video Sir! I can't wait to start practicing tomorrow. One thing I noticed after watching several times, you rotate your right hand from palm up to palm down when crossing your chest. This seems to give the net a little more torque to open and clearly throws the line out of your way to the left. You do this every time, probably without even thinking about it. Thx again for taking the time to teach us.

[@allwyncoutinho4268]

On of th best detailed instruction to throw cast net. Thank you

[@nathensantiago3785]

I have watched and tried multiple methods with like 60% consistency. It's been like 2 weeks since I've throw a net used this method first cast pancaked second cast pancaked. This is the best way I've found hands down.

South Florida native, Been throwing my net the exact same way since I was 6. Always would be soaked in min but constant pancakes lol I found this video a week ago and decided to switch it up, pancake after pancake boys and not soaked at all. Moray don't show the technique as clear as you. You make it simple and easy. Got 5 days in marathon key in about 2 weeks. Looking forward to filling the bait bucket!

Kudos, watched this video and 20 minutes later we loaded the livewell with bait. Next day did it again. Thanks Captain Mike!

I was away from salt fishing for a while so my net was just collecting dust. When I finally went back out I forgot the proper technique so the net wouldn't open half the time. This was an awesome tutorial. Thanks for taking the time.

[@FishingWithMichaelTruong]

Amazingly well put together. Thanks for teaching us how it's done :) I've not tried cast netting before but it looks like a skill to be learned.

[@mikerentnelli9580]

Ok, tried the method twice on my lawn which is backed up against a lake here in central Florida. The first couple of tries in the grass went perfect. Moved over to give it a shot off my dock. Had a nice throw and to my surprise pulled up a 15" Largemouth bass. I can testify that the technique works great. Thanks for the video!
