The ASF (Australian Surfcasting Federation) will be holding a casting competition on Saturday, 12th September starting at 08:30 am.

The competition will be held at the Yarloop oval, about 1 3/4 hours drive south of Perth, or closer if you live southside, and will finish no later than 2:00 pm.

All casting weights will be supplied and a new 7 ft rod will be up for the winner of the longest cast on the day who is not a current member of the ASF . Leader line will also be supplied.

Weights cast start at 50 grams and increase by 25 gram increments up to 175 grams.

Monofilament only is used with specific diametres for the various weights. eg: 50, 75 & 100 gram require a minimum diametre of 0.25 mm, 125 gram requires minimum diametre of 0.28 mm, 150 gram requires minimum diametre of 0.30 mm & 175 gram requires minimum diametre of 0.35 mm.  For safety reasons, a leader of minimum diametre 0.75 mm is required with a minimum number of 6 turns on the spool when casting.

Yarloop is a Historic Timber Town and there is an interesting tour available of the Engineering Workshops that used to manufacture steam trains for the industry. Their cafe/restaraunt is excellent. It would make a very nice day out for the family.

Very laid back and relaxing. I look forward to seeing you there.
