Cast netting for live bait...

These "hotspots" are for the Florida panhandle but probably apply elsewhere

Marinas for LY

Spartina grass and the area 50' from shore for Finger mullet, Bull minnows, tiger minnows

Any still, shallow, brackish water for the three above as well

Grass flats for croakers and pinfish, they don't really school up but you can see them rolling in the grass and net 5-15 per throw if they're thick in there with a 6' net

A lot of times we would beach the boat and just walk the shore looking for schools of mullet and bull minnows to throw on.

If there isn't any bait in the area you're probably pissing in the wind fishing there anyway

I've always had better luck chasing bait on foot in 1' of water than I have by boat in 6' of water. Yea it's nice throwing on a school of LY in open water and getting more bait in one throw than you can use in a week, and there are times when that's easy, but there is almost always bait near the shore and the grass. You may only net 10 per throw, but in a half hour or less you've got enough bait for the day doing that. I always carry a small dip net doing this too because you're almost certain to see some blue crabs using this method

Thank me later

She throws better than me. I found that video both emasculating and titillating.

I watched every second of that video. Even tho she complicated the frick out of it.

Not nearly as good looking but this is how I throw my 10 footer. No nonsense, quick to load and easy to toss off the bow of a boat.
Easiest way to throw a cast net.

Thanks for posting that. I can throw the hell out of a net that is under 6 feet using the "teeth" method, but once I start getting above 6 feet it tends to give me some trouble. I'm gonna try this.
