How to Castnet Pilchards & Pinfish On the Flats - An EASY Bait Catching Tutorial

How to castnet pilchards and pinfish on the flats - An easy bait catching tutorial. I like to find a flat with a good mixture of grass and sand in three to four feet of water. You are going to need a few essential ingredients, I personally like mixing menhaden oil, Purina fish food, and water. I typically fill my Yeti buck a quarter of the way up with Purina and then add a few squirts of menhaden. The key to the perfect consistency is to add water until you get a doh-like texture. Start making quarter-sized balls and toss them near the edge of the grass. I do this for about five to ten minutes or until the bit arrives. Now it is show time, can you make the perfect cast and blackout the live well? I prefer a 10 foot, 1/4 inch mesh net. 1.5lbs per foot is ideal but you can go lighter on the shallow flats. If you enjoyed this bait and castnet tutorial please like, share, and comment.

[@Saltyscales]

Old school canned mack still works, just a little more difficult. Thanks for watching!

Nice bro!

Nice

Canned jack mackerel is excellent chum.

[@martintopp1399]

Got sum??? You have got to be kidding me. That was heaps! Right, that's it, I'm buying a cast net!

[@dinoharrison5138]

So if you do a catch and cook you make a batter. If you do a catch bait & chum you make a batter. Just get the recipes mixed up. lol Be Well and God Bless my friends. ☝

[@Saltyscales]

Have to batter it up Dino, you know!

[@FL_Native_68]

Any Purina dealer can order a bag for you tell them it's tropical fish food. It's listed on there product availability form from Purina.

[@davescheer5038]

Have you ever tried to learn how to cast net with out using your mouth ( clean casting ) not having to use a shoulder or mouth , I’m still trying to learn , even at the pier with the twirl and drop technique it doesn’t spin open fast enough to open up , - have you ever made chum balls out of dollar store cornmeal , the canned mackerel , and sand , mix it into pool table size balls freeze em in a plastic bag and take with in the cooler , as the dissolve slowly and the bait stays in the area longer , you can make the same bait balls using cut bait for snapper 👈🏽 plus your hand toss cut bait , ( now the question ! Do square laundry baskets work better than round !) 🤔🤪

[@Saltyscales]

I can cast both ways, I find that I get more distance with my current technique. The spin method works great from high obstacles.

[@raul_gonzalez305]

Great video! Thanks for the tip. Is that Purina Catfish Chow? That's the only bag I found online that looks like the one you have

[@garydirks8223]

Great tutorial. I'm still trying to get that castnet throw right. Does the chum draw menhaden as well?

[@Saltyscales]

the chum has a little menhaden adding the oil makes them go crazy.

[@davem145mxr]

One and done is always a good feeling, do you get a lot of hangers with that 1/4" mesh ?

[@Saltyscales]

Not when the bait is running on the larger side.

[@davem145mxr]

@@Saltyscales I’m just wondering if investing in another net is worth it l have a 3/8” at the moment

[@wd4269]

Been looking at the Purina fish food , they have several, could you please narrow it down. Thank You

[@2BrothersWorld]

Yes, but what is at night?

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Is there a difference casting for bait in deeper water by a bridge? Different net weight? Size? Great video! Sub here. Keep them coming. Can do a video read the fish finder screen to locate spots in the bays?

[@Saltyscales]

Absolutely, for small baits shallow a 1/4" 10 foot net works great. 1.5lbs per foot. I like a 10 foot 3/8 in deeper water. Same weight.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

@@Saltyscales thank you Josh. Sounds like a trip to Walmart. Don’t want to lose an expensive net and want to get used to it. I would think casting in a slack tide would be easier? Will bait come up in slack tide?

[@kaseyrutherford5145]

Was that a wiffle ball bat in the live well?

[@Saltyscales]

Kind of, chum bat

[@Eluderatnight]

I have literally hand lined tons of pinfish in with paper dipped in manhaden oil on an open clip swivel.

[@filadajunk]

Do you have a product number on the fish food?

[@glasspro4735]

Purina Tropical Fish

[@Saltyscales]

No but if you call them they will know exactly what you need.

[@FL_Native_68]

What size mesh do you like to use?

[@FL_Native_68]

Never mind you just told me
