So far this season all I have caught is a few baby fw drums and also a few baby stripers in the cast net. Was hoping for some baby longnose gars but so far it has not happened yet.
Whats everyone catching in their cast nets?

Having said that, I am quite interested to see what has been being pulled in this time of year as well! I would like to employ a cast net to try and gauge the hatch of Cyprinus carpio in one of my favorite local lakes. I believe the ever increasing number of Eastern Europeans sourcing them for food is drastically decreasing the already quite small population, as well as having a direct impact on average size.

Where do you live? I'd love to catch and keep a drum but all the ones I catch with rood and reel are to big to adabt well to tank life IMO.
Lots of carp and bluegill down in AZ. Occasional lmb. I like catching the carp and bluegill. They make excellent flathead live bait.
Up in Washington I can't use it on my Lake, but in other local bodies lots of perch, lmb, smb, sunfish, and the occasional squawfish aka Northern Pike minnow.

I am in Georgia and I probably would have more luck finding baby fw drums than baby longnose gars. Recently I missed a baby longnose in the cast net.
I have friends who have kept the fw drums in the past they said they love night crawlers when it comes to feeding time. i wouldn't mind keeping them and putting them in a monster pond as they got bigger i think it would be pretty cool i like the way the look and esp the bluish sheen in the sun light they have.
