Were tying in the throats, or flews as many call them in our new Flathead Catfish net. We share our thoughts and tips on building a perfect Catfish net!!
Well Rod I guess there is advantages to both parts of the country. However it always seems as though our fellow anglers and sportsman tend to trade off our rights to fish and hunting, in trade for either prestige or what they think is going to give their way of doing things the advantage. I guess people will never figure out it normally ends up bad for everyone. As the old saying goes, "give an inch, they'll take a mile". Their not good at giving rights back either. Our Message here at God's Country Hunting and Fishing is "Leave well enough alone". My Grandmother used to say, "If you don't know what to do, then don't do anything at all"!!!
Yes sir. We do a little of everything, but the Hoop Net fishing is what's building our channel. We've noticed how little of the building and repair content isn't online, so we're trying to add it as we can. Thanks for showing the appreciation, and God bless!!
Thanks so much for the videos! Your channel is awesome. Really enjoy the content. In the process of making 2 wire traps, that’s all they allow here in SC. 😢
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 Yeah, exactly the same. Made them from hog wire - ordered the netting from Netting company in La. - coated them with flex seal...having trouble finding one of em. it's in 56 feet of water and i think it drifted down stream some. Thanks for the content - keep it coming!
@@rogerfoster5291 next time id try roofing tar like in our videos. I'd think it would soak into the twine better. Not sure flex seal wouldn't just dry coat the outside. Hopefully you find it. Need good anchors if in heavier current. You can stretch your netting barrel over the outside of the wire nets, but you'd have to sew your catch throat onto the wire first. Not sure which way you did it. I'm gonna do some videos on them hopefully towards summer
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 yes, the netting came dipped already. Only coated the hog wire frame with the flex seal…FNC in La. Sells the netting in 2 different sizes. The 4’x18” is only about 35 bucks. They sell the power bait too. Hoping to copy your success…🤞
@@rogerfoster5291 hardest thing is finding the fish. Once you do that, they will let you know if you did it right🤣🤣🤣. Don't expect those hard winter catches. Fish will be scattering out, but still should catch plenty
Thanks for the feedback. I'm working on it. We've been on a shutdown at our mill for 3 weeks and got about one more week left. I'm ready to get back in my routine, lol. Im working on that net and got part of the footage, but still editing. I should have it out in the next week or two. It will probably be at least another 2 part series. I should be rolling out another fishing video in the next couple days. Editing it now. Since you guys like the net building and those videos are doing decent, I may continue with some of those each year. Different sizes and mesh size. I'll also try including some wire nets. Thanks for the patience
That varies and is something you just have to play with. Depending on net mesh size, I try to go far enough that my fingers stay squared up with my mesh. In other words if my mesh is 2.5, then a little ways down between my fingers is be close to that same width, 2.5. so your knots will probably be closer to 3 or 3.5 apart if that makes sense. That could vary a little depending on the taper on the throats. Longer the throat, the farther between those knots possibly. I don't like my fingers extremely long, reaching into the deep end of the net, so I tend to keep the knots close as possible and still look good
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 Thanks. I’m from Lafourche Parish. Made a few nets after watching your videos. Getting better with each one. ‘Nets and More’ should thank you to because of all the money I’ve been spending there. Keep the videos coming.
@@thebayouboy2 Yes sir. Plan on trying to drop a couple each week this year. I gotta work a lot in March, but after that it's gonna be wide open fishing for us!!! Videos should be rolling out
@@user-gd4hp8xk3y The flat throats are primarily for Blue cats or Channel cats. We like catching Flathead catfish. Fingered throats catch Flatheads better. I'm not saying you won't catch one in a flat throat, but you won't catch near as many. It's got to do with the tightness of the throat and the amount a fish has to rub to get into that net. You also won't catch very many buffalo in flat throats in my opinion. Honestly, I'm not sure how long Flat throats have been out, but I'd never seen one used for years. All I knew was fingered throats. That said, they are easier made and will catch channel cats just fine. Thanks for watching!!
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 Will she catch other fish, earpa, crucian, or is it only for catfish? Can I put it on a trap with a wing or only on a trap without a wing?
I thought I lived in gods country but I believe you really do. Thanks for these instructional videos.

Awesome video. I am still learning and not many informative video like this out there. Thank you for making it

If that ain't talent and experience, I ain't country!!! Great Job on the craftsmanship and explanations.
Thanks!!! More net building videos coming soon
I’ve learned a lot of little tricks and tips from watching your videos on net making. Awesome video. Awesome net.
Thanks, got some more coming!!!

Are they the same as our wire nets? Reinforcement wire with Mesh netting? Glad ya found the channel!!

Great job
Thanks man!!
Ok. Now you gotta tie us up the best hammock so we can have a place to go nap after we get done eating all the fish we catch.
Hey I can do it
Looks great. Now I’m ready to see it catching fish.
Me too. Tried putting 5 in river today and never even got to the river. Such a bad level here to get a boat in
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 same here
thank you
Glad your enjoying the net videos!!
Love your net making videos. When are your net making videos with machine webbing coming out? Can't wait!

Awesome. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. This is becoming a lost art. Old timers that know how are dying off. Thanks again.
@@jeffstark4434 No problem. That's what our channel is about. Thanks for the support!!!
Почему второе горло не делаеш плоским или твой вариант горла лутше ловит?
I'd sure would love to come down there and go fishing with once. Take care.
I'm sure ready to get some in the water. Think I'm working on them too much, LoL. Thanks for watching!!
Heck yea man love it
Thanks, glad we did these. Now guys net fishing in the future will have a reference to go to on building and repair work
Great net. No doubt
Thanks!!
Looking good all it needs is some fish in it.
I'ma dip it first, then put fish in it 🤣🤣
How far apart are the 5 overhand knots on the lead lines that the fingers are tied to?
That varies and is something you just have to play with. Depending on net mesh size, I try to go far enough that my fingers stay squared up with my mesh.

Keep the videos coming.
@user-vt9vd1he3l They should, but haven't yet, lol. You'd think we'd at least get a discount🤣
Are you still going to do the build videos with machine webbing being used?
Yes, working on filming that in my spare time now. Might be a week or two before it comes out
That’s awesome. Love your videos keep ‘em coming. Thanks.

Not sure, English??
🦑
Thanks!!
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 no prob, great video. very easy to follow

I'm not sure how to translate this, but if you get it typed in English, I'll be happy to answer your question!!
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 Why don't you make the second throat flat or does your version of the throat catch better?
