anyone here catch/castnet their own live bait?

A buddy of mine usually drops a couple bait traps wherever we fish. Never any huge numbers, but some small sunfish and other small baitfish usually end up in them. The only place we've used the castnet was in the meadowlands in one of the Hackensack River estuaries. Got a lot of baitfish and one HUGE carp that we thought originally was a snag lol.

In the NJ fresh water reg. you can not use a castnet in any lake or trout stocked waters in NJ
