The new facebook casting group is interesting in that they dont want fishers involved, just distance casters.
It will be interesting to see how it evolves.

The snapper don't know where the car park is!
Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.

Yes it will suit the poms cause that's what they do.A lot of the casting records belong to people that don't fish their reels don't go anywhere near sand or sea, they have clubs just for casting.

It is the nature of a lot of the fishing there that having a long cast is often needed .

My casting reels could be used for fishing but they are set up for pure distance so they would need retuning to fish with.

I don't see it the way you are portraying it Gary.

This Casting group is about raising the awareness of distance casting. The fact that fishing is not or wont be discussed, surely is not such a big issue. Those fishers that wish to improve their casting are more than welcome. I mean the name of it is pretty clear.

Now we have the Distance Casting Federation. Looks like a group from BOP!

Re: New Facebook casting group

Yoey, thats just how Mark explained it.
Do you know about this other group? Are they NZACA affiliates?
Seems they are based in the BOP.

Some feel it's very important to be able to cast long distance downwind and across open expanses of paddock. But I've never seen them doing that in the rain or upwind or in a frost,

like real fishermen do.
Let them have their club. Me and 26,017 other real fishermen will do our distance casting at fish, from the shore, at all hours.

I reckon night casting could be a bit of fun. Strap on a lumo stick and cast into the distance. A greenies fireworks, oh and a whistle like those rocket things.
We know that distance casting is not for everyone but honing your skills is never a bad thing and it can be fun done the right way.

Distance casting is as valid as target shooting. Different use of a piece of sports equipment for a different purpose.

Yup. Each to their own. Distance casting doesn't ring my bell, but I won't stop anyone else getting into it.

Distance casting is a bit like Formula One, it has no relavance to the average driver for about ten years when the technology progresses to average road car. The rods we see today that are capable of casting heavier weights longer distances with lighter construction is partly due to distance casting.
