You can never cast further than your best cast. you can always cast shorter. The fact that the fish are often at your feet doesn't have much to do with having long casting ability. In fact its the fish that are not at your feet that you are after when long casting.
Anyway , its nice to be able to cast 150 yards if you need to. If you don't need too , you don't have too. I'm glad I know how to drive a car. So what if i can walk to most of the places i go to. It's still nice to be able to do it when I need it.
Places where long casts come in handy..... fall blitzing bass , Albies and Bonito in August are almost always "just out of reach , casting to a rip at a point when the surf is high and you can't get out on a rock , breaking fish in the center of the Ditch , etc.
Anyway , being able to cast far never hurts , not being able to cast far sometimes hurts.
