I assume this is a post by somebody formally known as something along the lines of Zippo in another time and place (am i not correct?)!!!

Dont think so, he would spell Blastas name right.

youve neva hit 180 not even on a dartboard cuz

shut it gibbo if it wernt for me you would still be casting 50yrds an using a bell on your rod you noddy.

Alright then, there seem's to be some intrest out there. So I suggest Talacra March the 9th, 14.00 untill when ever or untill wev'e lost all the lead. The venue will give us room depending on which way the wind is blowing, I will sort the markers out and so on. At that time and day, after you have beaten your personl best distance, you could stroll down to the water and have a couple of hours fishing, as this is the next possible venue.
PS. Sam another time and place, you would be correct.

Guess i was wrong then

Deffo for the casting bit, probably not for the fishing, as overtime is calling that night.

sounds good to me,see you there lads

I`ll have a go at that, I bet I struggle to beat 100 yards with a baited rig, but then I`m getting old now.

I think I`ll be chickening out too, it`s bad enough working out in the weather, never mind going out in it to `enjoy myself`

Im giving it a miss, but because im working until 6 in the morning and then back in at 6 tomorrow night, so ive got to sleep

Ive just spoke to Sandeel slinger, who is still going, so there will be someone there if anyone is going.

Im sure if another date was arranged when the weather is better and maybe if we could get an instructor or 2 there, loads would be up for it. Ill get the wheels in motion. Are we happy with Talacre, or does anyone have a spare field

MANY YEARS AGO, USED TO RUN AN ODD CASTING EVENT FOR THE COLWYN BAY/NORTH WALES MATCH ANGLERS. WE HAD AT AN ODD EVENT A CASTING WITH BAIT EVENT. FOR YOUR TARGET THE LIKES OF ALAN PRICE DID 180-200, JIMMY PRICE 150-180, DAVE MORRELL 160-190 SELF BEST WAS 226 WITH CLIPPED RUBBER EEL IN VERY GOOD CONDITIONS, WOULD SUGGEST THAT WITH SINGLE CLIPPED DOWN BAIT KNOCKS SOME 30-70 YDS OFF A CAST MADE WITH JUST THE LEAD. WITH THREE HOOKS UNCLIPPED 80 YDS PLUS CAN BE LOST. HAPPY LEAD SLINGING. NIGEL

No problem with coming out to play, will have to look into setting up or coming along to a session. Anyone sorting out a get together for a cast? Nigel

we'll have to sort something out when the weather gets bettter (if it gets better!)

Has anyone got a spare field then, or is it Talacre?

My front lawn could be available, it measures 10mtrs x 25mtrs, it should do for most of you.

Hi you bunch of wimps, and I thought us danglers were a hard bunch!!!!!!.

Got down at Talacre as planned, tho' I was 15 min late due to all the happy shoppers at the market!, with my 5 ounces in hand ready to play with my tackle in the sand. But mono casting can be a bit tedious like alot of other things you do on your own!!!!. I troted over the bank and there you all were "GONE" I can only appologise for being late. Next time I will have to camp out to beat the traffic. So now I will have to go and punish myself with some stinging weeds untill it bleeds. So So sorry. Next time maybe.

PS. just short of my PB.

i was of the rain and the wind but didnt get to sleep till 3.30am fished the match at north shore defo next time though whats your pb then sandeel slinger

From what ive seen, its +250yds!!!

190 yds "hard left" 60 yds out!!!

Sam you no how to hurt a guy when he is feeling down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
