How to throw a cast net!

[ft86tt]

Hello Forum, 

Thought I'd make a short video on how I prefer to throw a cast net. The net used in this video is a 9ft mullet net but this method will work on ANY size!
Also, I'm in the process of making my own cast net from webbings. Any questions please ask!

Sweet! I haven't thrown a cast net in like 15 years, but thinking of getting a new one. Will have to try your method. THANKS!

Nice video. Quick question. Are you right or left handed?

That's how I've been learning to throw my new net. It's an 8 footer. I can't quite get it to pancake like that. It seems to be landing awkward at the 3-4 o'clock position. And what I mean by that is the rest of the net is spread out like you would expect it, except for the right side at the 3-4 o'clock position. It ends up looking like a cookie with a bite out of it... (lol.. sounds like a stupid example, but you get the idea)
After watching your video I think I have to adjust the way I load my net. Good post!

I really need to switch to this method. Especially since I can't throw the thing from my boat. Nice video!
