Do you have anything coming up in the Wellington area? I'd be keen to do some hands on learning, pretty sure there are others who'd be keen.

Hey, sorry about that, didn't mean to stand you up. I read your PM on Tuesday night and then got distracted trying to organise time off (for good behaviour?) I am still keen.

Chucking a sinker around ain't much fun, unless there are fish to be caught :)
Do you guy's use fake bait's? streamlined fake bait's? to see who can cast the best? cause once you add baits to lines, it changes the whole distance casting.. be interested in seeing how you guy's set up for fake real fishing sessions and who has the best cast that way...:)

Its a challenge to see just how far you can push yourself and your gear.

Last time I tried with a bait attached and a full blown cast I measured it at 185. something meters but thats a year or two ago .

I cracked out Google Maps over Petone the other day and measured out a 230m distance against the Petone Wharf, then went for a walk down there to see how far it is in comparison to how far I think I can cast...
It doesn't look that far from above but looking at it up close... sheesh! I can only imagine casting that far and hearing a 'snap' as either my rod, or one of my tendons, broke :)
