Hello all, I am looking for a little knowledge about throw nets. I often motor past bait balls on the surface while out, and I would love to catch my own herring bait for fishing. The water is mostly hundreds of feet deep, but I can get really close to the bait. Is a throw net the way to catch it? What would close the net and keep the bait in it if I were to get it over the bait ball with my throw?
The herring for trolling is quite expensive, the cheap stuff is quite large (halibut bait size), and I would love to salt my own down (smaller size fish) to avoid paying $6-$8 a dozen for trolling baits. Anyone had any experience with this?
