The Purpose of Cast Nets
Fishing enthusiasts, whether seasoned or just starting out, are always looking for that next adventure. One of the most exciting and rewarding ways to fish is using a cast net, an ancient technique still widely used by professional fishermen around the world. At Coastal Marsh Charters, we give you the chance to learn and master this traditional fishing method while exploring the stunning waterways along the coast.
What Is a Cast Net?
A cast net is a circular net with small weights sewn into its edges. It’s designed to be thrown over the water, where it sinks and spreads out to trap fish. The net is then pulled back in, capturing schools of fish within its grasp. Unlike other fishing methods, the cast net allows you to target a large group of fish in one go, providing an effective and sustainable way to catch baitfish, such as mullet, menhaden, or shad, which are essential for many larger fish species in the area.
Why Cast Nets Are Essential for Coastal Fishing
When it comes to fishing in the coastal marshes and estuaries, using a cast net is one of the most efficient ways to obtain live bait. Coastal Marsh Charters takes pride in teaching our guests how to use cast nets effectively, providing them with an opportunity to catch live bait for bigger catches such as redfish, speckled trout, and even tarpon. Here’s why this fishing technique is crucial for your next adventure:
Live Bait is Key to Big Catches The best way to attract larger, trophy fish is by using live bait. A cast net gives you the advantage of catching baitfish right where the action happens. Our experienced guides at Coastal Marsh Charters will show you the best spots to throw your net and how to do it with precision.
Sustainability Cast nets allow for a more sustainable fishing approach. They allow you to catch only what you need, without depleting the fish population. Our team focuses on educating guests about ethical fishing practices, ensuring that the coastal ecosystem stays healthy for future generations.
More Action, More Fun Throwing a cast net is an exhilarating experience! The thrill of watching the net spread and sink into the water, followed by the satisfaction of pulling in your catch, is an adrenaline rush that every angler should experience. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, you’ll love the hands-on, active nature of using a cast net.
