Getting serious about casting

[Charkbait]

be sure to wrap your sinker other wise it will plug everytime it his the ground. You can either stuff it in a tennis ball or just wrap it with duct tape.

great info guys and Steve, thanks for asking a question I was to embarrassed to ask:hiding: as my surf casting technique sucks

[trowpa]

lol no problem Randy - i'm not ashamed to admit that I'm still learning. Besides I'm not fooling anyone who has ever fished next to me

I am still learning too, so is Ben, Sam, Coop, even DAVE! I have heard every one of them at one point say "I don't know" Every day on the water at least for me provides more experiences and that's where the learning comes from.

Hmmm interesting Idea Derf - "Atlantic Anglers Casting Clinic?"

[Coop]

I am going to try to get something together next winter at my golf course. Was going to try for this winter, but things just got to hectic. It is located about a stones throw from the AI bridge. It would be a great idea to have a casting clinic for Atlantic Anglers members and maybe have some festivities in the club house. I believe I was corresponding with Tommy (pretty sure it was Tommy Farmer, only went by his first name) very breifly about the idea of having a clinic at the range but I was just to busy at work and the discussions ended.

could be ...
the thing is tommy likes to keep the clinics small , and likes to split them up according to 'casting ability' .
i met him on the beach last fall and was really impressed with both his casting ability and teaching 'attitude' .
you can contact him here Home

I already called him and he said it is okay, I just need to talk to a few more people before I set something up with him.

[Randy Stinchcomb]

this sounds like a great idea guys, I'd love to attend

[Pier_man0909]

it would cost around $50 per person

[trowpa]

I think it would be worth it....
