Synopsis

This old favorite has been fully revised, with many new diagrams and charts added. It tells how to construct monofilament and nylon nets, both from scratch and using machinemade netting. Modifications to the basic net plan include skirt net, panel net, and a Spanish cast net. It also has complete instructions for making a hammock... the perfect place to stretch out for a nap while your mullet cook in the smoker.

About this title

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

From the "How to Throw a Cast Net" chapter: It is frustrating to throw a cast net on a bunch of mullet and have it fail to open. A Little practice in your back yard will have you opening your net before you go fishing-and will let you get the feel of a correct throw, one that opens your net in a perfect circle. Before you throw the cast net, you must "make it" or "load it." This process includes positioning the cast net on your hands and arms in such a way that as it is thrown away from the body, it forms a circle.
