for anyone who might be interested there is a comp on this coming sunday 14th at dorchester. the venue should be around the maiden castle area. spectators are welcome or why not bring your gear with you and have a go. there should be some very good casters there, and they are allways there to help out.

Sounds interesting I've always fancied having a cast measured just so I can judge how far I'm fishing.

ian asked me to say "you go ahead mate, if you don't mind being laughed at"

 

[ChezzieM]

i can handle being laughed at it would be a laugh, watchin people dive for cover, when its my turn lol

 

[t j]

no one will get laughed at what you have to realise is that we all had to start somewhere.

 

[Garry]

Thanks for that Ian I'll remember that when Ian wants some mackerel but can't quite get the distance! the cost is going up all the time mackerel @ 2 beers each next time!

chesilmaster hi,
there is casting at dorchester every month throughout the year. it is normally on the 3rd sunday of the month. this month clashes with the uksf grand prix 4 so it was moved forward. keep an eye on this site as i will post the up coming dates a week before hand.

cheers mate

my husband is a distance snob so would love to know just how far he realy can cast. is there an entrance fee and are there classes for we ladies or would i have to compete with the boys

diane

on your last post you called a male member sexist.
so i think you should compete with the boys to show them you are as good as them

entrance for these events is usually about £5.00. this covers the cost of the hire of the field for the day. casting normally gets under way about 9.30 a.m ish and goes on to about 6 p.m ish. you can get as many casts in as you can as there is no limit to how many casts you have.

forgot to mention that casters of the female variety are more than welcome to attend.

Hi All,

I know Tony's (T.J.) casting ability coz he came to give us some casting lessons and demos at our charity fishathon. He can only cast 180yds (with a whole sandeel on a pulley pennel) . Not bad for an ex 9 mile sniper !!

If I don't see you before Tony, good luck in Italy and we will go fishing when the season ends. By the way, Dave likes the photo.
