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.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!



When we lived in Florida, I could throw my net reasonably well, well
enough so that two or three tosses would bring in 100 nice bait shrimp
when they were running, and 25-50 pogies. The really good guides would
pull in three or four times as much with a toss or two. Flounder, my
favorite inshore fish, preferred live shrimp and when you couldn't
castnet for them, the baitshops had "juicy" farm-raised bait shrimp for
about a buck a dozen.
