cast nets in california

[gvanzant]

Hi TubinChris: I don't know why that some one has not flat out said to you that cast nets cannot be used in Southern California waters. Cast nets are wide circles of nylon mesh material with lead weights sewn on their perimeter. I watched the fish and game cite a number of people in the San Gabriel River for using them. Hoop nets are basic stainless steel rings with a net attached. Cast nets have to be thrown Hoop Nets are lifted. The guys that got nailed on the San Gabriel River were our illegals from the south and certainly did't know any better...yes they do now!
