Hi there all, I'm a newbie to Sealine.....excellent site. A fountain of info chaps, thanks for this.
Some advice please, all my S/W fly gear is staying at home in Gauteng this year.....for the 1st time in many years.....
and I am a serious "beginner" with Rock & Surf.
Pretty adept at 28-30M casts on my 10Wt fly rod (the easy bit), and a PROFESSIONAL at resultant monster overwinds on my Shimano Calcutta 700S (the not-so-easy-bit). I am very new to the art of casting with this damn thing!!!! The rod is a Kingfisher Stimulator 13.5" 4.5oz. Kingfisher Giant Abrasion 25lb. It's my technique (or lack thereof, not the gear)
Question 1) Any casting clinics / tuition in the Pretoria area any weekend soon?
I have been drooling at the prospect of swimming a live shad for big Kingies and Dagas if they're around late December.....will hopefully get this right with my small spinning rod (with coffee grinder = no bird's nest, and hopfully some shad, wave garrick etc for Livebait). I will still need however, to be able to cast the big rod.........
Question 2) Any casting clinics / tuition in the Pretoria area any weekend soon?
The learning curve is wonderful - but a tad painful at the moment, a liitle "technical" assistance from one of the inland casting pro's will be hugely appreciated........
Thanks all, best regards
