ok i need a list of people interested- all welcome. Cooke has kindly given me some info to get the classes up and running. i am not chasiin people! if interested kindly let me know!! this way i can set time location date and rope in some volounteers if needed.
structure of classes will include-
beachcasting
spinning
floatfishing
downtiding/ uptiding
bait- collection storage and use
venues(slideshow)
species(+general tips on methods)
tidal cycle
simple match angling guide
safety talks, laws and regulations
sit down rig making session
casting instruction demo
raffle?!
the above info was given to me by Cooke. big thanks. if anyone has a particular interest in helping in any of the above do not be shy. the above is a guide to how the classes can be structured and the aim will be to achieve something similar. i don't mind taking this onboard but if numbers are big i will need help.
