Please reply with cast net recommendations to catch big gizzards in 30 foot of water. Thanks in advance for your help!

I also am interested in current opinions on this. There is plenty of threads that talk about nets but over time peoples opinions change....

Read the "Cast Net 101" thread in the "Live Bait Equipment" section. My opinion on this matter has not changed one bit.

I will tell you that this time of year when the water is still around 50, it is real tough pulling up bait from 30 feet during the day. The big gizzards are still very fast. It is easier to get em at night when they don't see the net coming as easily. Once the WT reaches 45 or so, the big gizzards become very slow and are easy to catch at any depth. You just need the right net.

Thanks Yam can't find that post though. Mullet net maybe? proven model? Night sounds right though. Thanks!
