Alright.
Looks we started a new thing here. Thanks for the info.
As soon as I get my hands on a net I'll start practicing.  :smt001

I've caught anchovies right outside of HMB harbor, but I'm doing it from the AI tramps.

I can't stand those cast rings. Just learn how to do it the proper way.

Limits? Or the use of net?  Re read the regs and it looks like there's no limit for chovie and herring.

Well just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it doesn't work does it?  If it made it easier to throw from a sitting position, I think it could be very useful.  However the price for it is outrageous for a piece of plastic.

I did just find they have some cast nets with a built in ring: http://castnets.com/ez-throw-750.html
