Cast netting is a fishing technique that involves using a circular net with weights around the edge. Anglers throw the net in a wide arc, allowing it to open up and sink into the water. When the net is retrieved, it traps fish within its folds. This method is often used in shallow waters, such as bays and estuaries, where fish are abundant. The key to successful cast netting is practice and technique. Anglers must learn to throw the net effectively to ensure it spreads out properly. Baitfish like shrimp and mullet are commonly targeted, making cast netting a popular choice for both recreational and commercial fishermen.
