If you don't have a casting net, try snagging them with a weighted treble hook.

we just baited up some weighted trebles with a little calamari and really slammed the hooks once you felt the tap. We caught lots of fish fast like that.

Pogies are filter feeders - don't try to catch them on a baited hook - either cast net, or snag on a big treble w/ an inline weight for casting as suggested above.
