I was able to spend a few hours with Mr. Petty, wow does he know his stuff. He has forgotten more than I will ever know.
Like Stinkbait Tom said, "Mr. Petty knows how to find the fish"
He offered to show me how to throw a net and stay dry, as well as letting me record and share with everyone. The video is straight off of my phone, Enjoy!!!
Thanks again Mel!!!

Thanks for posting this bad1!

My son always had the taco problem, he watched this video and has been making good round circles every since!

Thanks Mel--

Mel,

Are you spinning the net with your left hand when you release or just tossing it? I would love to be able to throw it that way!! Great job!

This is how I've always thrown a net. I didn't know there was another way.
