Re: Casting was: [VFB] Fishing report

Good one Jimmy. Turning around to watch what your backcast is doing is a 
very good suggestion. Actually you don't need to "turn around" just open 
your stance and look back. It's very helpfull. You used the word smooth, as 
per one's "storke." I totally agree.........what it comes down to is 
starting either cast (back or forward) slowly and increasing the speed of 
it, to a DEAD! STOP! Those DEAD STOPS are the key to it all. There's no 
playaing around with it.........they have to be DEAD STOPS!! mark

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.

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??
