Once again, thanks to Sean, John & Benny for giving up their time to try to educate the helpless :lol: :oops:

Special thanks goes to Sean for being brave enough to let me try a few of his rods - think this could end up costing me money :lol: :lol:

Will definately be at the next one as learned alot in a matter of hours - hopefully the turnout will be better. In the meantime it's down to the beach to PRACTICE!

argh............fu**, typical , I was looking forward to this for weeks and then the missus had to work . :x

sounds like everyone had a good time and learned a bit into the bargain

but i am also very glad i wasnt caught on video :oops:

caught a wee bit of go fishing on Saturday morning , there was an article about tournament casting , interesting stuff , showed guys punting 175gms a phenominal distance with what looked like a effortless cast , followed by much reel twiddling and some huge birds nests. The backwards casting looked particularly "interesting" :shock:
