cast net - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

On the west coast here, Cast nets are illegal to use!

If your striper fishing on the east coats i know they are legal. but may depend on witch state you live in.

JMJ,

You probably did not get the notice when you emigrated from the East. Here in California, if it is is intoxicating, erotic, entertaining, politically sensitive or just plain useful, there is probably some law that makes it illegal or imposes some sort of fee or tax on the activity.

Welcome to the Golden State.

F-ing ridiculous that u can't use them here..thanks F&G!..
