I have a 5ft 10' diameter net now that's 3/8" mesh and I do ok with it but my casting technique sucks so I need more practice with it. if I use the front deck I keep getting caught on the front seat or trolling motor because I have no room on the front deck (my little boat is pretty crowded) so I started to throw it over the side of the boat mostly. its been years since I used it so im out of practice and only get a good circle once out of 4 throws and the rest are only like half open.

I have a really easy way to throw, if I cant find a video on youtube I'll make one tomorrow
