Does anyone know any shops that have cast nets around LI?? I tried a few on the north shore, but no luck. Any tips and/or advice would be great. It's mostly for peanuts and spearing. Thanks

I know four winds bait & Tackle in Huntington has them and boaters world has them too.

cast nets

Crossbay b&t has cast nets in stock.
I got mine in Beckmans a number of years back.Also,I reccommend buying the throwing dish,cost $10-15,worth every penny.

buy a good net

i have bought cheap cast nets and basically use them for practice. check out the web and get a good net with adequate weight otherwise it is useless.i have fitec and calusa nets and have several. a bunker net with 12'spread and 2"mesh very heavy,a 10'1/4" for peanut bunker and spearing and a 1/2"for use in florida on ballyhoo and general purpose. again dont waste your money on a cheapnet. check out netco for good prices.

If you get a Cabelas or Bass Pro shops catalog they should be in there. As for advice, start out with a small one maybe a 6 footer and as you get more comferable with it you can start to get bigger ones.

You can use a 10' in shallow water, but if you are going deeper you will need a bigger spread.
