After just 3 rounds the wind swung and kept swinging all day, so we opted to abandon things and go for a bit of a mess about instead of trying to wang into the wind still and all SOD put down a very respectfull PB givin the conditions. Well done buddy, and as usuall thank you everyone who helped setting up and pack down the court.

Results in meters:

PaddyC- 175g/214..150g/209
SOD- 150g/196.60
DBrock- 150g/196
LeeG- 175g/NCR..150g/190..125g/194
Gearoid- 175g/175..150g/185
Kstaff-NCR
AG-NCR

I think it was 1/1 between AG and Gearoid on the OTG rounds, and staffo won the backcast round,,,, or did he put it up a tree....

nice vid lee...nice to see you included the backcasts

Cool vid Lee, that belly dancing im doing is not good, need to get a longer top good fun at the hill, I was wreaked when I got home, small numbers of people mean a lot more walking

great to get out even though we were casting into the wind and doing ok numbers

I did Lee improved by two meters I think, pleased given the wind conditions. I bet the next time we are there the wind will be at our backs and ill be hitting them crap

Great vid lads whats the story with the backwards casting do people actually use that or is it just for show?

A few lads use it here on the beach not many. Im told Eric from this site can do a backcast but ive never had the pleasure of seeing him do it. The back cast is very popular on the English south east coast i believe. Look up you tube vids of Kevin Southey to see one being realy nailed.

Tommy Fogarty from Raheny S.A.C has a pretty impressive back cast, A nice guy too.

an old timer friend of mine does a back cast with fixed spool when fishing and it's always straight down the middle .
He keeps both hands up at the reel and sticks the but into his guts:shock:

Thats gas i find it hard enough to cast the conventional way let alone the back cast Il have to check them clips out cheers.

nice one sod

trojan, the back cast developed on the english east coast as sod mentioned above

winter cod anglers there needed a style of cast which would chuck heavy weights-typically 7 onces and heavier, combined with really big hefty baits-a long distance even in rough conditions

dave richardson holds the current record back cast of 258.86m [283 yards] on 150grm, cast recorded-may 010 uksf

its every bit capable of matching the pendulum and probably more

although my own first attempt on sunday managed about seventy meters

tommy fogartys brother and international angler noel also back casts with great success on the match scenewith distances that has to be seen to be believed

Well done on the PB Sod.

No results from the weekend?

Story Austin,,, shamfull is not the word! It was a horrible day up there,
But fair play to SOD on the PB in what can only be described as desperate conditions

Results now added to top .

Im chuffed with that, hopfully ill be hitting them that well next time the conditions are better and break the 200 meter barrier.

sod, if the wind was with us, you would definately have broken 200 easily

looking good dude..
