Dry Casting Report September 2001


		Surf Casting and Angling Club of W.A. (Inc.) Dry Casting Report September 2001

Bloody rain! It pelted down as we set up the casting arenas. Still, prospects of a tail wind looked good and I could see a break in the weather looming up within the next hour or so. The rain backed off to a bit of drizzle, but the wind couldn't make up its mind which way to blow.

Twelve brave souls and a couple of mini juniors turned up to have a go, and with Terry's and Mal's assistance we got through the day.

I had to stifle a laugh when Mal asked if the club had mineral exploration rights on the Oval. The sinkers and the plastic tubing were burying a good 20 cm and the only way was to follow the line and dig like hell.

Chas Riegert put down some great casts to win the 112 gram and 56 gram events. Conditions were quite tricky due to the swirling winds so it was a good effort. "Roy the Boy" again showed his class by winning the double handed event and was the overall winner of the Day.

Yours truly displayed sheer brilliance by trouncing all in the single handed event. (and he equalled the single handed record - but he already shares it - Editor.)

It was great see "Big Willo" and Mat put in some good casting. Unfortunately both have not been very enthusiastic towards their casting lately, and have now had a change of heart and some knot practice, so I hope to see their competitive nature back in full swing from now on.

A special well done to Kade, Rhys and Emily for their efforts on the day. The sausage sizzle cook was perfect.

Keep it straight and long.

===========

It's called "Dry" Casting, but.....

Special thanks must go to Bob Henderson and Terry Willison. As if just setting up wouldn't be hard enough, somehow the lane marker ropes had got tangled and stretched and they had lots of problems getting them right - all in the wind and pouring rain, before most people arrived.

Bob had some wet weather gear on, but still got very wet and cold and had to change into spare clothes. He was still cold, but soldiered on running the show. Willo was in his rain jacket and shorts ! Says he doesn't feel the cold !

Thanks guys. Summer's coming.
