Big Dave Thomashey conventional casting clinic

[Saltheart]

I got some great news. Big Dave has volunteered to do a casting clinic for us here at Striped-Bass. The plan is to have the clinic on sat April 12 at 8AM. It will involve a sort of classroom session and then a hands on casting session. The plan is to have the class session at Slipknots then drive to the water nearby and do the hands on with personal instruction by Dave.

This is a great oppurtunity to learn conventional casting from one of the world's best casters. Dave will talk about reel tuning , rod selection , how to compress rather than bend a rod ,mechanics of the cast , etc. I think the individual hands on instructions will be extremely useful to everyone.

OK , now the bad news. In order for everyone to get individual instruction , the group will be limited to 12 guys. If there is more interest , Dave will schedule another session at a later date.

So start signing up.

John R , Smokey , Slipknot and myself are going. That leaves 8 more places open on a first come first served basis. Keep signing up after you see 8 more names though so we can see if there is enough interest for a second session later in May.
