| help! Casting instruction Hampshire ? Hi, I would like to learn to pendulum cast. Does anybody know of an instructor in the Hampshire/Gosport area or is anybody with experience interested in just showing me the basics? I can 'OTG' but its not a good technique on steep shingle beaches so I am limited to just thumping it out at best 100 yards (wind behind me!) but as I nearly always always fish into the wind I am down to around 50-60 yards. Cheers, James     |

| Re: help! Casting instruction Hampshire? I think Adrian Farley at Hayling Island maybe your best bet,He can usualy be found in the lifeboat inn drinking sqaush.He is a very nice chap who will probably want to teach and fish at the same time. Here is the NFSA casting instructor list and his details are on it.  http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:u...+coaches&hl=en __________________ Bill |

| Re: help! Casting instruction Hampshire? I contacted Adrian and had a great afternoon. We had a good chat about fishing and casting in the pub first! Then walked across to the beach. To cut a long story short I was taught within an hour the 'ariel ground cast' or the fishing pendulum. I'm now blasting out leads with ease well over the 100 yard mark. It was a piece of cake to learn too. I've been put off learning for ages expecting it to be too tricky but it wasn't at all difficult. The book/mags are useless for learning to cast, you definately need a practical lesson or two with a somebody who can show you how. Cheers, James  |

| Re: help! Casting instruction Hampshire? Hi Ben, It was only £15, worth every penny. I had to drive to Hayling Island but he told me he does come to you if you give him the petrol money. James |

 Re: help! Casting instruction Hampshire? considering getting some lessons myself, i do most of my fishing straight into deep water so distance is'nt really a problem but it would be good to learn how to cast properly.  __________________ -Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. -Hard work has a future payoff.
