Bait

I didn't even think about legality for an umbrella net. It was all they had. My 36 is Mia. And while my cast net is great these early minnows are to small for it and I lose half or more of what I get on the ground. Which is a waste. Except to the gulls who inch closer and closer down the railing while your trying to pick up the fish off the ground.

Hey copo, be careful cast nets are illegal according to the DEC for use in Lake Erie.

I wasn't aware of that. Gotta love nys. Lol shows how much I pay attention to bait laws. Next they're gonna start restricting the number of baitfish you can catch in your net at one time

This state is really something. I love throwing a cast net and I was really bummed when I found out they are not allowed.
