Cast Net Practice
I saw this fellow yesterday at Lagoon Pass trying out his new, and first, cast net. I got the sequence of shots of one of his practice tosses. All was going well till he held the tether rope too long and the net hitting the water as a wad. He had another young fellow coaching him, so hopefully he got the hang of it.

If you can't get them in the net, the concussion should stun them ;-) LOL

That looks like about half of my throws---the other half aren't that good.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for an abundant fishery and a magnificent pier, from which to access that fishery. I'm thankful for the morning view of the sunrise and what a spectacular view it is...
Happy Thanksgiving!
