Casting into those sea breezes
Can you handle those sea breezes? With the right gear and skills, you can fish almost anywhere and in almost any conditions.
We can show you how to get the best out of your own fishing gear if you would like to bring it along. You don't need any special gear to start dry casting. Many people use their regular fishing gear, particularly for the accuracy casting.
Where:- Yokine Reserve, Wordsworth Avenue, Yokine. Competition starts at 8:30am, but club members are there from around 7:00am onwards for setup and practice.
We can give advice on different rods and reels and show how these can go together, and also let you try out casting with different rod and reel combinations to find one that suits your fishing needs and your size and physical strength. This is important for the ladies and juniors, and those of us who aren't as young as we used to be, or for people who are struggling to cast the distances they want to.
Our visitors always get a lot of useful and practical tips, and often add ten to thirty metres to their casts on the first day - and, no, we don't catch many fish at drycasting, but those skills certainly help when we go fishing.
After the competition and the lessons for the visitors, we get together over a sausage sizzle and soft drinks, and talk about anything to do with fishing and casting.
Check the Club's website http://www.surfcasters.iinet.net.au/ for other Club activities. PM / email me or the Surf Casting and Angling Club's Secretary for more information.

Nah Sherbs
Dont think its like that, bunch of good guys who will go out of their way to help you.
As Terry said, you can get +30 meters extra on your casts after the first morning, and if you like the scene and want to join its bugger all for the year
Come on old dog, few new tricks eh ?

Good questions.If you just
Good questions.
If you just want some advice - it's free. Bring your own gear. It's a no strings offer, but get there early.
This is our monthly club casting competition day, so the members have their own casting to do starting at 8:30. See http://www.surfcasters.iinet.net.au/DrycastingMain.html#DC2012
If you want to cast in our competitions (and you'll learn lots by doing this) - then we ask you to pay the day fees like all the club members pay - $10 per person, $12 per family.
That helps cover the cost of hiring Yokine Reserve, paid to City of Stirling = $800 per year. Plus cost of Public Liability Insurance = $995, essential when you are hurling lead weights around and a condition for hiring the reserve. $1800/12 =$150 per month.
We would of course, like you to join our Club, and we think you'll get back so much. Talk to other Club members and read the articles written by recent new Club members in http://www.surfcasters.iinet.net.au/ReelTalkMain.html and decide for yourself.
Later I will post about loan of casting gear/fishing rods and reels.
Our Club is not for profit. All the financial records are available to Club Members and summaries are posted on the Club's website.

A good way to learn, when I was a grommet I would go down to the park and cast and cast and cast some more, once you get good enough even headwinds are not as much of a problem.
