After watching Ole Rocky Drake, decided to give it a whirl Sunday. Other than looking like a complete tard throwing the cast net, I can't believe how easy and effective of a way to fish it is. Took me an hr or so to get the feel for it, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty damn fun. If you're fishing below the Dam, you can get all the gizard shad you want in Shoal Creek.

If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

I grew up vacationing at a families place on oyster bay at the beach. Went to the same place for over 15 years. We spent 90% of our time fishing, crabbing and throwing casting nets for fun off an old pier. Caught everything in those things. Puffer fish was the coolest.
Everything woke turns to shucks

I've done it a few times in the past month livescope makes it really easy to catch shad. That's the main reason I quit live bait fishing was the hassle to catch bait
We will burn that bridge when we get there

It's the first thing I do on every trip. I have several different places I catch bait. Shallow sand flats, creek mouths, below dams ect. When the water temp gets to the upper 60s you'll catch whole school of crappie below dams. Sometimes it's hard to throw em back..

Saw a guy try that and got a net full of catfish. Looked like a horrible mess I caught 48 saltwater catfish in my net once. I let the net sit on the pier til all the catfish died. I then took a pair of wire cutters and clipped all the sharp fins. All the catfish easily fell out of the net. Still was time consuming!

You should've just waded right in there with both hands and started tossing those nasty bastages out of that net.

I caught a whole herd of 7 or 8 inch long channel cats in one once. Did about the same thing Peach did. Even little freshwater cats hurt like hail, and the smaller they are the sharper those spikes are. I've only been spiked real good one time, and there's a reason it's only happened once.

The All Natural Swimbait! May I ask what brand/type of cast net you bought? I've been looking into them for catching shad for catfish bait until the skipjack start biting again. Going to be hard. My boat partners' grand kids do enjoy catching those bluegills we use for bait. The blue and flat head bite is on fire right now for those who like them under 10 lbs.
