Does anyone know much about cast netting? I'm good at throwing it but the only place I ever catch anything is in a small creek out the road, small suckers and chubs up to like 6 inches. If I catch a drum or something on those I use it for bait but I need bigger bait more consistently. Anyone catch big bait with a cast net on the ohio river? I really need any advice to catch big bait. Thanks!

I get most of my bait from the cast net. Drum, suckers baby carp and shad. My other go to baits I catch legally on rod and reel. Make sure you check your regulations so your abiding by your laws.

I know my laws say 6 foot cast net and I have a 5 foot. What am I doing wrong. It really bothers me that I can't consistently catch bait. |

I get my bait in the rivers. I mostly throw in the riffles or directly behind them, that's were the fish usually are. I also will throw off of sand bars. My river is more like a large creek. Also try by bridge pilings, I'm successful in these spots also.
