I'd grab them for my club to keep in the library. Narragansett Pier Sportfishing Association, Narragansett Surfcasters.

Perhaps I can toss them in a bag and mail them to you. I would bet your club has these...Mike lives right in your 'hood. But if you want them PM me your address.

Are these gone? I'd love the cast net video. I have a 12 footer but I can't make it open right. Lands like a taco every time:wall:

Liv2fish,
This video helped me throw my net better, you can view from your phone in the backyard. The neighbors tend to look at you funny, I'd rather look like a fool in my yard than on the ocean.....

What are those odd looking square things?

I just hate to toss that stuff in the trash...I know the format is obsolete but the content is not. Mike did a great job on these.

Paradoxjim, I dropped them off at the PO this afternoon, you should have them in a few days. I hope someone can put them to good use.

The cast net video is the same as the youetube one above. Good video and I have used that exact technique with great success. There are many approaches. Also, his advice on buying a net is priceless. Other than a completely custom made net the calusa nets are far and away the best production cast nets I have ever used...I think I have tried 5 different brands, these throw great and stand up better then those cheap ones. Once you throw one you will know. I have had to spill out bait because I could not pick it up many times. Maybe that is why my back is shot.

I used that video to learn how to throw and it works
