I got a four footer yesterday and caught some shad and crawdads. I think its a fine investment not only does it save money on buyin bait but also because it makes getting bait so convenient.;)

I may have to get with ya so you can show me how to use one. Always wanted to learn.

I just sling it out there and about every fifth time it works like it should...well kinda..:rolleyes: My bro-in-law showed me but I don't think anybody ever showed him..:eek: I was wondering if the site says pole and line only is it illegal to use a throw net there?:confused: I used it on the river and in flooded areas.

The four footers just about wares me out after about 1/2 hour. I found out tonight you need to becareful not to use it in a place where theres a lot of snags. I had to wade out and untangle it off a stump and it still riped a little hole in it around the bottom near the weights. I also found the best way to toss it. Great link Josh Thanks!

Be sure to not use them in areas they're not allowed too. Below Rend lake "sport fishermen may not use a minnow seine, cast net, or shad scoop for bait collecting within 1,000 yards downstream of the Rend Lake dam and spillway." Below Carlyle Lake "sport fishermen may not use a minnow seine, cast net, or shad scoop for bait collecting between U.S. Route 50 and the Carlyle Lake dam and spillway."

It's all in the hips!!! LOL
