12 Cast Net

12 Cast Net

A cast net is a fishing net which is designed to be thrown out into shallow water and then hauled back in with a payload of fish. People have been using cast nets for thousands of years, as mosaics from Ancient Greece, Rome, and China indicate, and they continue to be popular for recreational fishing. Cast nets are not widely used in the commercial fishing industry, because they are so labor intensive, but they are often on display in fishing museums and the headquarters of fishing companies as they are of historical interest.A basic cast net is a giant circle of netting with weighted edges. The net is attached to a line so that it can be retrieved, and another line is attached to a drawstring which can be used to pull the net closed, trapping fish inside. As a general rule, a cast net is designed to be thrown by hand, but it is also possible to use a net thrower or net launcher, especially for big nets, which can be hard to handle.
