The kind where you drop or throw it in the water and I guess it settles to the bottom and then you yank on the stri gs and it closes up and catch whatever was in it. I'm sure it has a "proper" name.

Do they make small versions of these that you can buy at the average fishing shop?

It's a cast net.  There's a Spanish cast net without brail lines that's used in shallow water, that one is used by letting it settle on the bottom & the fish are picked out by hand. The other is a brail (or braille) type cast net that's used in deeper water. I wouldn't let it settle on the bottom unless you want to lose it. It's worthwhile spending a few bucks more and getting a good one. The cheap ones usually don't open well & rarely have enough lead on them. Better yet learn to make one yourself.

Full of fail. That's a completely different type of net.

They're called cast nets here, OP, if you get one you need to make sure you find out what

is legal to catch with it.

A seine net is a long flat net that is supported on two poles. one person walks out and circles back to shore. Basically creates a wall that is pulled into shore

Throwing a cast net is a real art. We watched a guy work one from a sea wall, catching bait fish. He let us try it and the results were comical.

It looked like preparation is key, gathering the net in the throwing hand in a certain fashion but I could not get it to work.

Or they use heavy weights and boats.

Cool. I'm sure what's out there is more than I would need. I'm catching fish with a handle net with my kids. We're picking freshwater mussels off the bottom of the lake and using them for bait. We put the net in and drop bait down in front of it then scoop up the fish that gets close enough. We've done ok with it. Just thought it would be neat to do it with a cast net using the same baiting method. We're just catching lite sun fish and dropping them back in after they swim around in a bucket for a while.

So I would need a pretty small cast net.
