Default Re: Recreational use of gill nets for bait... (bunker)

Most here in jersey use castnets. Usually from boat for adult bunker and from shore or dock for peanuts when they are around. For adult bunker 1" mesh and a #of lead per foot diameter of net. Get as big a net as you can handle and throw. For peanuts 1/2" will suffice and 8' to 12 ' is more than enough. For smaller bait you can seine net off the beach or use 1/4" mesh cast net.
