Beach casting !

Well the holidays are long forgotten and the madness of the office means that I can only get away for short breaks during lunch for a cast and relax. The weather this week has been anything but ideal with straight southerlies blowing 25 to 30 knots through to westerlies just being annoying. Still I would rather don the gum boots and get down to the beach than spend the time tied to the desk.

As you will see from the video clip the casting was not always what I was after( especially when hitting the deck ) but as they say , no pain no gain so I will be making more of my lunch breaks in lead up to the June Comp at Lancefield. If nothing else the bad weather and loose footing is good training for what we may encounter during the comp.

feedback and comments welcome.

well what can i say only the music was AUSUM DOODE!!!are you buddies with henry gilbey ?few nice casts their ,i love the crack offs you always wonder how far it would have gone and still look to see if you can see the lead land one question does the line getting wet affect the way it comes off the spool??

The wet line makes you have to come around slower to avoid line slip , also you get a salt spray every cast , quite funny when your glasses fog over
