Description
I had went cast netting going towards Hollybeach on Nov 14. it was raining and all but this was the first time I took off to do cast netting for shimp cent 1970. I forgot how to thow a net and all. here I was cold and rain was falling lightly and my net would not open up at first but then I got it to open up. I just saw a few people with rod and reel doing some fishing but no one was cast netting. I just got these type of fish which is not good to eat. Be good for bait and that it.
It started to rain hard so I went to another place i used to cast net in 1970 and it was not raining there so i got out and was walking to where I could cast net. I did talk to some people that was leaveing and they say they was fishing with rod and reel for red fish. they caught seven which filled up they 48 quart ice chest. I then saw a sign that read all the do and don't. I saw one was cast netting . lol here I was cast netting and it was a don't. I jump back into my truck and went back to the place I was cast netting and saw a sign there too not to cast net. I took off going back home then and saw some one fishing with a rod and reel and stop to talk to him. He say the whole Sabine National Refuge was like that for now. He say at times they will close it for some reason which he did not know. This man was here to get the red fish too. which he caught some.
Now I had goen down there to try to get shimp but just caught one shimp which I thown back as I did with these type of fishes which I know two people told me the names but I forgot the name lol
ps no fish or shimp was hurt here or die

jocko don't feel too bad the fish in the rivers oceans etc etc are not like it use to be can make us sick anymore ! lovely that u got a picture first !
very, very cool picture!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like an excellent catch..great capture..a fishermans delight
I have never cast a net for anything, but I often put out the crawdad traps when we are pole fishing at night for catfish. I love deep fried beer battered crawdads. Great shot of the netted fish.
A delightful image, wonderful use of hues, and as always a wonderful tale.
Most excellent composition.
glad you didn't get caught, Jocko, yep sometimes they change the rules and you do as you always did only to find out, it is wrong by now
Another thing I'm not fond of .. if I fish, the fish go back in the water to live another day. Cleaning them is a pain. Much easier to buy them already clean and ready for the pan, LOL! Great capture, though, and so glad you didn't caught!
Great story.. Glad you didn't get caught.
Terrific shot! Wonderful detail, texture, and color. I like the close crop and white of the fish and net against the dark background. Great capture of the white of the net against itself and the white fish.
SUPERB photo!:)
