I think I am going to need a netman for a few times this season. The guy I was supposed to bring along is giving hints that he cannot do it now. I am going to try the 1 pole method, I just to see if it works well.
Anyway, I think this would be a good way for some people to meet-up for those needing a ride or a thrower.
I have all the gear (no poles yet, but should by Friday), just need someone to help run the net and/or boat.
If you need a man during the week I might be able to help, just depends on the day. My next three weekends are pretty booked up, but I have days off during the week and I wouldn’t mind throwing a net. I work rotating shifts so I won’t be the most reliable person for weekends though.

Tigerfin, that might work out pretty well. I can take half days with 1 day notice at work. That way, if I am up real late I can sleep in and go to work at noon. I will pm you my number. I planned on the harbor out from wappoo.

Don’t let not having a thrower stop you. I have gone out alone and one-poled it a few times. Besides missing the camaraderie of your friends, it is rather quiet and peaceful. It works if you sit on a good spot. Simply anchor off the bow/stern. toss bait around your boat and throw. My son and I have one-poled as well because it is a little more stress free (yes, we tend to fuss at each other).

Maxrooster , where are you located? I had open heart surgery and a valve repaired 2 weeks ago! Going to the dr. tomorrow and see when I can drive and sit in my boat, He already told me I could not throw a net till next year, hope I can go before the season ends I have only 4 Quarts left from last year! Usualy go to BB or ST Helena.
MattR- from experience, 3 points of attachment work bestest… if you have an extra one, bring it.
Boatpoor- hope you recover quickly and find a netman in your neck of the woods to help you fill the freezer this year!

yep. I have also used a couple poles right along the sides like anchor pins to control the swing of the boat, works as long as you’re pretty much parallel to the current (as long as your boat is not too big I guess, works w/ my 20’ CC), and then you don’t have as many anchor lines to contend with.

Boatpoor, I might be able to throw a net for you on your boat during weekends.

I can go. I throw a 7’ net and have my own. My boat won’t be up and running so I cant go out on my boat. It would be cool if me and your son and you went. Plus we fish and probably shrimp the same areas…

My partner bailed on me this weekend. Looks like I’m shrimping solo.
