Ehh funny story, i live in an apartment. So i keep it in my fiance's parents backyard. They arent to thrilled about it, not to mention if i go sit in it and throw a castnet. Oh and i might look rediculous

You don't need the yak to practice. Just sit on the ground and practice throwing the net.

This crate set-up will allow you to land Big Bill Fish!

For some reason i dont think the crate has anything to do with land a big billfish lol

For you guys who don't like me talking about the ease of doing things in a WaveWalk W500, I won't say how much easier it is to throw a cast net when you don't have to do it from the sitting L position. I promise I won't say anything about how much easier it is to get things from your crate and from the 14 cubic feet of storage in the hull tips, if you can turn completely around like in the cockpit of a W500. Nope I promise not to say anything about these things, but next week I will post pictures showing how much easier it is. Wife will be back from a trip where she has the digital camera or I would post pictures tonight.

lol @ foldcat......hmmmm....and yet u dislike the "hidden forum reps" who give "biased opinions"..... .......nicely done, i think he wants to know how to throw from his ride not a wavewalk......anyway I've tried castnetn from the pelican wit a 5ft net....sae result u got....think a 3' would b easier bt it has less weight so it might not be as good for deeper water!? and with winter around d corner think a heavier net is neccessary(unless you hit the creeks for bait)Just my opinion....what do i know, I own a CASTAWAY!

If anyone near DFW has a video camera, I'd love to get it on film. I can throw it sitting down very easy, anyone can with 10minutes instruction and some backyard practice. My six year old is getting pretty good at it to. He uses a 3.5' net, the one I throw from the yak is 4.5(much easier than standing and balancing). It never opens 100%, but 85%+ evry time, and always in circle. No flying tacos, no leadline in your mouth. A guy taking a family of five out stiperfishing in a big center console boat might NEED a 7' castnet. A lonley kayaker can nab all the bait needed with a 4'cast-net(if he learns to use it first). My method isn't perfect, but it always puts bait in my lap without any real effort. Chess...you got a camera?

Oh yeah, and it works sitting/standing/kayakin/thrown strait-down(like from high pier or bank)/and even from a Wavewalker

my digital camera can record video.....ive used it to make youtube vids....let me know

There is a subtle difference between "Forum Reps" and passionate individuals. I notice that when someone talks about how great his Hobie pedal drive is - you don't say the same as above about them!!! But, then they do have a REAL Kayak.

I am not sorry that I can continually point out the things that are HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE from a regular Kayak that are so easy from a WaveWalk. FIRST AND FOREMOST I AM A BADLY DISABLED PERSON - MY BACK HAS 4 BAD DISKS IN THE LOWER END, THREE BAD DISKS IN THE NECK AND NERVES THAT ARE PINCHED GOING TO MY LEGS. Most important to me is for DISABLED KAYAKERS to know about the only kayak that I can own and actually use. As I have said before, my legs and back will not let me sit in a regular kayak for more than about 30 minutes before I have to get out. The having to get out is true for both paddling or sitting one place fishing. The other fun and easy stuff like having max storage space, having max stability, ability to throw cast nets, are just gravy, because if you can't get comfortable in the kayak, then you won't use it and the subject is moot. IF I had a Hobie with the pedal drive I could not use it, and would not use it, not because it isn't a good kayak, because my disabilities keep me from using it. That said, after having a WaveWalk W500, I would still not use the Hobie even if I could. There are just too many other advantages to the WaveWalk that I would want to take advantage of. Why would I use a kayak with reduced capability and comfort???

LOL its all good, i understand where ur coming from its just that i have to agree with who ever said your enthusiasm was humerous or somthing to that effect......seriously though i do thank you and all?other vets for your services!

I do not have near the funds to purchase a wakewalk, thats why im in a stinking pelican castaway. That isunless my fiance doesnt go, then i take her WS 135 ride. I do not pretend to have tried a wavewalk or hobie or whatever else. I was looking for insight into castnetting from the kayak i currently own since an upgrade is not in the near future. But i do thank you for offering your input i just cannot dish out $1000+ on a kayak. Im currently trying to buy a house so all availible funds are going to that. Now i am upset at academy at the moment because for the last 2 weeks iv been going to 2 different locations a couple times and they never have any castnet smaller than 5ft. Its not so much of a problem when i go to SLP because mullet are everywhere in the shallows and its nice
Hard sand. But when i go other places it much more difficult since i seem to always sink about 2ft deep in mud if i try to wade cast net lol

Good reply... and I think I agree with the 3 1/2 foot net idea. I cast my 3.5 from my jon boat(sitting) without any problems.

I'm with you, enjoy what you have until something better comes along.

Walmart seems to carry both the 3.5 and 4 foot castnets. Prices comparable to Academy

IMHO walmart nets are better quality than the cheap academy ones....reasonably priced and can be pulled threw a few snags!

Yeah my 5ft one has a few holes anyway so i might as well buy a new one
