I saw a fellow doing this over the weekend off a small pier at a marina.
He had a small net, close mesh, and was pulling up shiners.

I wouldn't go through the trouble for shiners, but I might for larger
baitfish. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone castnets in the Bay for bait.


Once knew this Spanish gypsy gal,

she was really skilled with cast-the-nets.

Lots of guys hoping to give her chest-a-peek, but she generally held
them at bay. Couple walked away with shiners. Probably just as well, I
suspect she was jail bait.



Well, that was worth a groan. A small one.

groan.

Actually, I got some responses elsewhere. Apparently there are no
fishermen here who work the Bay and cast for bait.
