Re: Casting was: [VFB] Fishing report

Slow down your stroke, smooth, both back and forward.  Hey, it won't hurt to look behind you on occassion to make sure your line is straightening out (loading) all the way before you start forward.  Jerky strokes make for wind knots, noisy splash when line slaps water and dumps your line in a "squiggly" pile.

Just being able to cast
30 feet will double your opportunities at the Ranch

I am glad that this came up again....

    I am wanting to improve my casting. I do fine out to about 30 ft. but from there it goes all to heck. Accuracy, distance, line slap, you name it. Any pointers??
