For a longcaster to be effective his water reading skills must be refined to an even greater degree than someone who only fishes the slough at their feet. Anybody with a pulse can read a hole 20 yards out; tell me what's going on under that "busy water" 110 yards out . . .

I can't believe that people who can't throw long are so willing to exclude themselves from having a chance to catch the majority of the fish that swim past a spot . . .
Resent away ReelinRod. I was not singling anyone out or putting down how anyone else fishes??? Just expressing my own view and what I have learned since I started fishing. If you for some reason believe I can't throw long....you may want to re-think that as I have no problem going long when and if I need to! I can hang with the big boys if needed!

By the way....I am 6' 5" and 300 pounds.....if I am both strong and smart that would be something!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
