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

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!

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.

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

Glad to help Terry.

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

That’s the kind of instruction I’m looking for. Real and how it works in a “real” situation. I’m likin your style Capt.

Hi

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

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!

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!

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!

I'll get that video outside and throw it a couple dozen times, perfect video Captain Mike!

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.

I have thrown a net my entire life, just learned a completely new method. Awesome video man.

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

After watching your video I went shrimping last night. Your method worked fantastic. Best way to throw a net by far. Thanks Captain Mike..

Capt. Mike, It's funny, I watched this video last year, followed the steps, and it didn't work on my 7' Betts. Then, your vid popped up again today, and it worked perfectly. I figured it out. I wasn't grabbing the half of the net that crossed over in the middle to make the upper level, but was just letting it hang. When I grabbed it in the middle, to make the "two levels", suddenly it works perfectly every time. Because you just use your arms and shoulders, this method is more tiring, but it works great for lighter nets! I still use the teeth and spin method for my 10 and 12' nets, but I'm about to re-watch your big net videos, and I'm guessing they will work, now that I'm thinking right. Thanks for taking your time to teach others.

Absolutely great video Captain Mike. Best way to throw a net I have ever seen and will definitely give it a try. Thank you. Keep up the great instructional videos. My favorite YT channel by far.

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.

Am from jamaica an I really appreciate this, I do fishing for from but just couldn't manage to throw my cast net that good until I found this video. Thanks a million

Dudeeee i Know this is a 3 year old video but I just bought a castnet for my 14ft boat and I have never through one of this before. This video has been so helpful I just came back from trying it at the park next door and it just took me a few through and got it right

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!

3:50-should have turned right 90 degrees and thrown. I think she was in range.

I’ve watched a lot of videos on how to throw a cast net. Your video is by far the best. Following your instructions will result in a perfect pancake throw every single time. Thanks!

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.

I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for showing the most understandable throw net video I’ve ever seen. I’m smoking bait now. Thank you so much !!!

Captain Mike, I ran across your video as well as a hundred others on throwing a cast net, everyone seems to have their own spin. In the end its what woks for you. Anyhow I tried your method as it seemed about the easiest to load the net than others that had like net in my mouth or two groups of led on over each shoulder. Anyhow I practiced your method for few days and kept thinking what I was doing wrong that I could not consistently get a full spread. In my head I understood that one group of lead had to go one direction the other group another and the leading end in your hand had to trail so it was forming a triangle in a way as you release to get a full spread. I think the one key component in you video you let out that would get people to catch on quicker is for them to understand do not try to just chuck the net straight out into the water but there is a release method. You must throw and release in a circular motion as you toss so you get the lead leads goin in two different directions as your trailing hand just barely hangs onto the last piece of net. Once I figured that out you loading process is a breeze. After about 4 days of off and on practice I got, throwing an 8ft net, matter of fact I think I could easily throw 12ft net now. Anyway appreciate the video it got me started in the right direction.

When I was a boy in southern Louisiana I would throw a cast net many times every day catching shrimp and small fish to use as bait (or sometimes just to eat the larger shrimp that night). Apparently I lost that skill along the way because I could not remember for the life of me my old method. I'm not sure that your method is what I used to do (I remember I used my mouth to hold part of the net?) - but your method works perfect. Throwing perfect circles again. Thank you for the video and sharing your knowledge.

First ever pancake in my life! I felt like To Hanks when he made fire in the movie Castaway. Thanks mate, for real!

Great instruction! No more wet shoulder and sleeves for me. Thanks Captain Mike!

Starting to teach myself how to fish salt water and starting from the beginning with catching bait, bought a cast net today, watched your video twice, and had 5 mullet on the first throw! Got a bucket full of bait in about 3 minutes and ready to surf fish tonight! Thank you for the awesome tutorial video brother!

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.

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

Good Job mate. Thanks for this.

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!

I used to throw a net when I was little (and was good at it) but then after years of being away from it and now having dentures I found myself struggling to throw the net properly. I looked at a bunch of other videos on how to do this without putting the lead line in my teeth (lips) and all of the other methods didn't seem to work for me. I came across yours and VOILA! Got it to open close to perfect circle first time which I am sure will only get better with practice. I appreciate the time you took to make this video. Thank you.

Amazing! I've been trying occasionally for the last year to throw my cast net without success. After watching your video, I can make a perfect circle cast everytime. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mike, I've been an offshore mate and/or Capt for more than 19years (85% of that time has been in the Mid-Atlantic and when I was out of west palm I had another guy on board who was Fl native and could throw pancakes with the 12-14'er every time so I didnt stress it) Well, my castnet illiteracy has been bugging the hell out of me so I've made a point to improve.
