Hey mate,

There are so many ways to cast a net, it is just a matter of finding the right one for you. Youtube has a few examples. I castnet at Colmslie, Bulimba and the Boat Passage (Fisherman's Islands), and usually pull up poddy mullet, herring and prawns. Personally, I think it is a pretty easy and cheap way of getting bait and a feed of prawns, and the net will pay for itself within a few weeks! I am always keen to get out for a fish and net, so if you would like, I can show you my method of casting a net. Drop me a PM or give me a call, my number is on my profile.

On a side note, I predominantly fish and net southside, so don't really know any locations on the northside.

Cheers,

Ryan.

Anywhere there are no snags. Check out youtube, find a quiet spot and practise. There are some shallow banks along the Pine River at Bald Hills or down stream from Deepwater Bend boat ramp which wouldn't be too far from you. It won't take you long to get the hang of it.
