This is by far the best of all videos I've seen for casting any size net. I've tried countless other videos for years with varying results. This is the first technique that allows me to consistently "pancake" my 8 ft. net without having to use my teeth or throwing the net over my shoulder. Great work, Captain Cody, and God bless you!
@@CaptainCody7 do you have more videos. My son has struggle casting net and he learned so quickly w your method, and then I got tired of standing around so I’m learning now too- so more hopeful now!!! Great job. 😇
I’ve been trying to learn how to throw my 8ft baitbuster net for over a year and I’ve given up on it. I’ve watched tons of videos with zero success. I watched you entire video last night woke up this morning to take out the trash and grabbed the net. I threw it 2 times using what your Technique and low and behold to perfect throws. Thanks captain Cody.
As a newby to fishing in SW Florida, I'm a 66 year old guy. I have searched high amd low for tutorials how to throw a cast net. Yours is the best. Great job. Thank You.
Thanks for the positive feedback! Good luck catching fish down there! Check out my site, global fishing reports, I write articles on how to catch may different types of fish down your way. I like your salmon fishing videos, looks fun!
I gotta say I have been set on the triple load for a long time but I love how this doesn’t get you wet and honestly I think it’s more consistent pancakes
Thank you! I've watched how-to videos on cast nets for years! Finally after watching your video a few times I can FINALLY throw a pancake! Thank you Cody for sharing!
I recently totaled my 6 foot net of which I could throw decent enough to get some bait. Bought a new 8 footer and man, I was lost, could not throw it at all! Watched your video after numerous others on UA-cam and was immediately impressed with the simplicity so I gave your technique a shot and nailed it on the very first attempt. Thank you Sir!!
Just ordered a net from your link. Moving from the Midwest SW FL and was dreading learning to throw a net. This video has me excited to learn. The other methods had me intimidated and not looking forward to it . Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
Sure thing! Thanks for that! I should have some more cast net videos coming soon as well. I was out tonight catching some mullet on the Gulf side in the keys. We saw lots of tarpon, sharks, and cuda attacking the mullet but thought it was just fun cathing the bait. Throwing a net does take some practice but can be quite fun!
I just tried this method after getting soaking wet using another method. It's awesome...so quick and easy. Thanks for posting this. The first time I tried it, it worked!!
I have a few large nets and have been using the "triple load" method, which works very well, however after that first initial cast, you get all wet throwing the second, third,.... I will give this method a try. Thanks Captain Cody for sharing in such great detail!
Yup, this is the most effective tip how to throw a 12 ft caste net. I really enjoyed your video and it does help me catch more baits. You really deserved a thumps up and a subscribed.
Ok, I have been working on this while on vacation in Myrtle beach South Carolina. And I have to say, I have watched multiple videos on casting large nets, and I have been casting smaller nets my whole life. This video was the easiest by a land slide the first cast with your technique went perfect pancake! I have almost perfected it! Thanks so much for sharing your secret to success!
Gotta tell ya...This is prolly the best video I've seen. I have yet to throw my net period. I've seen one other guy use this method but he was longwinded and overboard. You gave us the cliff notes version with plenty of demo. And btw..that last throw of the video was perfect. This will be my go to for my 8ft net. Thanks Cap Cody.
Well I finally realized what I was allowing to happen that was destroying the throw! When I brought the approx. 1/3 of the net over my right hand then went down to get the 2nd loop of near side net to put over I was allowing all the net in my right hand to come over or fall over the side of my hand nearest to my body! It took this Bonzo a long time to realize why the net ended up in a clump ! I'm getting good pancakes now with the 8 ft net but it will take a lot more practice for me to be able to throw the 8 ft net or a 10ft net or bigger as effortless as you do ! Many thanks for your great video help!
Dude! I have been trying different techniques for my 8' for the last couple weeks with frustrating results. This method works for me! Thank you for sharing!
really appreciate you showing how to do it several times in the video.... really helps it sink in rather than replay after replay....... can you do a video on how to determine where to go to catch bait, what to look for etc? Thanks
Thanks for watching Jimmy! I plan to make a few more cast net videos coming up, I can make sure to include that. I have videos on how to catch mullet and how to catch bunker on my channel. If you are looking for pilchards they are most active at first light. Look for any surface activity or diving pelicans close to the shore. Once you find bait it is typically in the same area for a few weeks.
after moving to Florida learning to throw a cast net was imperative to avoid paying ridiculous prices for live bait ,this method is by far the best and you stay dry I tried them all with different degrees of success but now I can pancake a 10 footer 3/8 mesh 1.4 pounds per foot every time thanks JK
I always use this methods, very easy, the down side is you cannot throw hard on this methods to reach far ground. It is perfect to throw at baits right in front of you. The key is to throw nice and gentle at a constant speed. Nice instruction.
Thank u so much for making this video I'm bout to upgrade from a 8 foot to a 12 foot net and was already throwing kinda janky but I tried your technique with my current net and instantly saw results
used this on 7 footer. I learned if u leave a little more weight, lead, on your dominant throwing hand it’ll pancake a lot better. thanks for the vid, helped a ton!
Of all the methods to throw a cast net I like this one the best. Got taught by an experienced deep sea fisherman to use your teeth. I never felt comfortable knowingly exposing myself to lead. But using this method I have caught plenty of bait fish, a drum, and a largemouth bass.
Great, good luck! Also if you are trying to catch large bunker I have a video on how to do that. It is actually good to back over them with the boat and then throw so the splash does not scare them.
Great video. Easy to follow instructions. Best way that i have sern so far. Have been struggling with smaller net. Tried your method this afternoon and after a couple of "bananas" started to finally see some pancakes. Thanks for the video!
Awsome how to video but i think this video should have started at 6:40 around there and then the rest of the video. But now thanks to your video i can cast my 8ft cast net. Thanks bro
Sweet! Yeah, I was not sure where to place each demo. I figured I would show it a bunch of different times in hopes some example was easy to understand. Keeping it untangled is very important which is why I decided to show that first. Thanks for watching!
You all prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Jake Jerome thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
wow, I'm impressed! I have a light 8' net, and can throw it perfectly every time, but my heavy 8' and 10' net, no luck. I will try your method and report back, thanks again!!
excellent video, great technique and fantastic job with filming angles. I think this will allow me to throw my 10' or 12' again. On the shelf since shoulder problem. Watched many videos over the years trying to find a throw that won't rip my shoulder out. Never found the right answer until I saw this. Thx u.
Thank you so much. I was getting frustrated and about to throw in the towel until i watched this video. Great step by step and works really well...(most of the time) :)
WoW. you made my easy thank you so much for this video after watching a bunch videos I finally come up on yours and I kept saying to myself there has to be a better way. Again Thank you
First thanks for taking the time to reply. I have watched your video and you make it look easy (more importantly understandable), but I am sure a lot of that is because of the time you have invested in learning how to do it properly. The net i bought was advertised as 12' it's actually 6'. I have a small 4 1/2' net that is real easy to throw ... so i believe i am going to spend the money and buy a good bigger net ... probably 8'. Thanks again you're a quality skipper!
If you still see this. I usually don't need a net over 5ft. I got a 10ft and couldn't throw it till I saw this vid. I'm 42 and been fishing all my life. Thanks man 🤘
Also what’s the best way to find baitfish, especially in murky water, I’ve been throwing randomly in spots I’ve seen bait. Is there anything I can look for to make this process easier?
@@YourLocalCanuck It depends how deep they are. Usually at first light mullet will make swirls on the surface for the first 30 minutes of light. During the day you can use a fish finder to help find them. The shallower the area the easier it is to spot and catch them during the day. Hope this helps, good luck fishing!
If you are throwing a heavy net that needs both arms to share the load (weight)watch my video. Your video seems one of the best and easiest to learn for normal lighter weight nets. I will definitely try to master this when I get us a larger small bait net.
I found your video today and it happen to be a 5 years old video. This trow method is some new for me and u have just one question. When you trow the right hand loos first. When or at what stage/time after you free the right hand must the left hand loose the other end of then net ?
Good question, you actually hold with your left hand until the net is almost completely open. I have a newer video that shows this in slow motion where I explain that.
@Savetime Mann thanks for the feedback. You are only throwing half the net the full distance. Half the net only goes a few feet so I do not think you need to throw 16 lbs 40 feet necessarily. That being said any net bigger than 24 foot diameter is huge and probably not needed. Just get increased the mesh size and tactics for bigger deeper fish. Check out my video catching bunker. That is with a 10 foot radius net with 2 2/3 inch mesh, we run the fish over before throwing to not spook them near the surface. For nets over 12 feet in radius the triple load method is probably better. However the extra work of throwing a net over 12 foot means that you will probably throw it less often and catch less fish in the long run. Also many times I can barley lift my net from catching so much bait. It would be awesome to see your invention trowing a net over 100 feet! Also for ocean fish using a fishing pole is great option!
Are you left or right handed? Just curious if you are throwing with your dominant hand? I struggle throwing a 10' with the teeth method... Gonna give this way a try today! Thanks for the video!
Hi from Australia. Awesome video. Just one quick question... when you 'grab the outside line' to hook it up over your thumb, are you grabbing the line furthest away from you (of the two) or the one closest? Kind of hard to tell from the video. Or does it matter?
ive been throwing a cast net for about 35 years and thats the way ive always done it just think of how you smell after a hot day fishing and putting it on your shoulder getting all wet and fishy smelly then on your way home you stop off at a restaurant to eat oh heck no love your video
Thanks Erik! I agree, glad you figured out the best way to throw a cast net long before I did! You must have caught lots and lots of fish over the past 35 years. What is your favorite fish to catch?
I didn’t realize you were the same guy who wrote the article on the best nets of 2021. I thought that was a good feature and I relied on it t9 buy my new net. I didn’t pick the calusa which I know you liked but part of my decision was influenced by what I could get my hands on in this crazy market. Finding nets has become harder and finding a 1/4” was even harder than others. I found a 8’ betts super pro for a good price and more importantly, in stock. For the money, it seemed to offer a lot, $130 delivered
Thanks for using my content! Yeah the super pro is a good net as well. It has been difficult the past year to get nets that are in stock! Hopefully you are catching lots of bait!
I’m going to give this a try. Now I throw a heavy 10 footer using the triple load. Rather stay dry if possible. Might give this a try with my deep hole net as well.
Awesome, tripple load is a good way to trow a net. I switched because I did not like the wet lead on my shoulder after the first trow. Make sure the net is tangle free and this method works great. Good luck fishing!
This is by far the best of all videos I've seen for casting any size net. I've tried countless other videos for years with varying results. This is the first technique that allows me to consistently "pancake" my 8 ft. net without having to use my teeth or throwing the net over my shoulder. Great work, Captain Cody, and God bless you!

Great instructions. I just moved up to an 8ft from a 4ft and now I can get a "perfect circle" on almost every throw. Thanks Captain.
Sure thing, good luck catching bait!
I have tried and tried other methods and I can actually throw a net now using your method. FINALLY!!! A system that works. Thank you sir!!
That is great! Good luck fishing!
Out of all the videos on UA-cam, yours is the easiest way in my opinion, Thank you
Glad you found the video helpful Kenneth, good luck fishing!

@Savetime Mann thanks for the feedback. You are only throwing half the net the full distance. Half the net only goes a few feet so I do not think you need to throw 16 lbs 40 feet necessarily. That being said any net bigger than 24 foot diameter is huge and probably not needed. Just get increased the mesh size and tactics for bigger deeper fish. Check out my video catching bunker. That is with a 10 foot radius net with 2 2/3 inch mesh, we run the fish over before throwing to not spook them near the surface. For nets over 12 feet in radius the triple load method is probably better. However the extra work of throwing a net over 12 foot means that you will probably throw it less often and catch less fish in the long run. Also many times I can barley lift my net from catching so much bait. It would be awesome to see your invention trowing a net over 100 feet! Also for ocean fish using a fishing pole is great option!
Very nice and seems consistent!
Yeah it works great!
Great video. Beautiful background
Thanks Joe, this was filmed in St. John in the USVI. There is lots of good fishing and snorkeling in St. John.
Excellent lesson!
Thanks for watching Paul! Good luck catching bait!
Are you left or right handed? Just curious if you are throwing with your dominant hand? I struggle throwing a 10' with the teeth method... Gonna give this way a try today! Thanks for the video!
I am right-handed and hold/throw the net with my right hand. Thanks for watching!
excellent explanation, best tutorial on casting a cast net on youtube, thanks
Thanks for the positive feedback! Good luck fishing and catching bait!
Thanks! Your video helped me stay dry!
Awesome! Have fun catching bait!
Hi from Australia. Awesome video. Just one quick question... when you 'grab the outside line' to hook it up over your thumb, are you grabbing the line furthest away from you (of the two) or the one closest? Kind of hard to tell from the video. Or does it matter?
Thanks for watching, it will be the line closest to you. There should really only be one line if you are reaching for it with your left hand.
ive been throwing a cast net for about 35 years and thats the way ive always done it just think of how you smell after a hot day fishing and putting it on your shoulder getting all wet and fishy smelly then on your way home you stop off at a restaurant to eat oh heck no love your video
Thanks Erik! I agree, glad you figured out the best way to throw a cast net long before I did! You must have caught lots and lots of fish over the past 35 years. What is your favorite fish to catch?
@@CaptainCody7 shrimp and other bait
Thanks for your help and time.
Sure thing, good luck!
Thanks u I'm trying to learn how to use one ND this is the best way can't wait to teach my kids
Thanks, the binary conversion of your name using ASCII gave me a bad word. What is it suppose to be Mr. web? Good luck catching bait with your kids!
Nice technique I'm going to try that and see if that improves my cast netting
Great, I think you will like it! Good luck catching bait!
Awesome video bro i had to subscribe right away your description on how to was so simple thank you very much could finally catch some good bait
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Great explanation! Plan to adopt this method. Like it more than the others I've seen.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks David, good luck catching lot of bait!
Me too
I didn’t realize you were the same guy who wrote the article on the best nets of 2021. I thought that was a good feature and I relied on it t9 buy my new net. I didn’t pick the calusa which I know you liked but part of my decision was influenced by what I could get my hands on in this crazy market. Finding nets has become harder and finding a 1/4” was even harder than others. I found a 8’ betts super pro for a good price and more importantly, in stock. For the money, it seemed to offer a lot, $130 delivered
Thanks for using my content! Yeah the super pro is a good net as well. It has been difficult the past year to get nets that are in stock! Hopefully you are catching lots of bait!
excellente. Live in North Port Florida......will be showing this to EVERYONE......fyi it works :)
Thanks for the positive feedback!. Glad that it worked for you! Good luck catching bait in Florida!
Thank you so much! I couldn’t find a way to throw my 10 footer over the inside wall of my pontoon boat. This is the way!
You're very welcome! Yeah this way should work for that!
great job , thank you - been throwing a net for 30 years getting soaked - not any more - catchem up
Thanks for watching Brian! Catchem up as well!
Excellent video lesson!
Thanks for watching Paul, good luck catching bait!
@@CaptainCody7 I just tried your method in my swimming pool! I didn't catch bait, but made great pancakes!
@@paulspeidell7386 ha ah Good deal! You can also practice in the grass.
I’m going to give this a try. Now I throw a heavy 10 footer using the triple load. Rather stay dry if possible. Might give this a try with my deep hole net as well.
Awesome, tripple load is a good way to trow a net. I switched because I did not like the wet lead on my shoulder after the first trow. Make sure the net is tangle free and this method works great. Good luck fishing!
Thanks for your greet video its worked for me before I was throwing half panckes
Awesome! Good luck fishing!
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
More easy this way Capt...thanks...
Hoping to buy one soon
