Time for new cast net. Where do you buy your inshore cast nets? What brand do you prefer?
Thanks,
I have a Betts Old Salt 6’ 1/2" mesh. It throws pretty good. Used to throw better before I snagged some oysters with it and had to do an on the boat repair job. $45 at Ace Hardware.
I just bought a Tim Wade net. Throws great and a great price for a custom net ($115 including shipping). See the shrimp section for his contact info…
I buy the $$$30.00 6 foot 1/2 in mesh from walmart, jus because they last a couple years and they throw pretty good.

A couple years…If I make a season on one I did well…[:0]
I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I think I’m going fishing…!!
I’ve bought cheap ones, I’ve bought expensive ones. They all work equally well at catching Oysters. 
Doc, I try to keep mine away from oysters and stuff that’ll ruin em so cheap ones work for me lol

I need to spread mine out on the driveway to make repairs after my recent trip to MI. The last one I bought was from Adventure Products in Macon, GA. I needed a 1/4 in mesh to use in Florida for bait. Do you know how long it takes to get 100 gilled baitfish out of a 3/8 mesh net?
I’d rather fish than eat.

Man I wish I could say mine only lasted a month…but that would mean I was on the water a lot. I buy new ones because I get tired of the rope color!! Lol
