The second Regional Distance Casting Day at Papamoa will be held this Sunday the 14th . Start time 10am at the Gordon Sprat Park . Come along and see how some of NZs top casters cast 200mtrs plus . You do not have to belong to a club all are welcome. Casting tuition and coaching available. This event will be using the new casting rules for the 2013 NZACA Nats. ( this is a good chance to try these rules out ) Thanks to the Western Bays Surfcasting Club for organising the grounds. Hope to see you there. Bring your gear and have a go. |

Was a very good event with some decent distances set down in challenging conditions. Surfcaster also made the jump into the 200+ club. 
------------- A recent survey has revealed that only one in seven dwarfs are happy. |

Thanks KC, it's only taken about 10yrs and had to do it with the a Varitas with a 100gm lead. KC has a NewZealand record of 226mts with 100gm. Pete Frogit NZ record 216mts with 125gm It was a great day met new people and Western Bays gained a new member. The next TackleTactics regional casting day will be the 5th and 6th of Jan in the far North can't wait. |
