I've fished in a lot of places where distance matters quite often---even at night. The Vineyard, Montauk, LI's inlets. As well as the Canal. I can cast better than 90% of the guys who fish the Canal. The other 10% tend to catch a few more fish than I do. The guys who can hit a 3' circle at 90 yards, consistently, catch the most fish there. Casting long is only half of the equation. Accuracy means as much if not more, even at short range, when it comes to casting at breaking fish.

Distance counts even at night, throwing jigs, in quite a few places along the canal
