Has anyone ever seen one of those road casters actually hookup?

They seem to get alot more talking than fishing accomplished.

One morning a couple of weeks ago fish were breaking, but seemed to be better than halfway across. Nobody down on the waterline could reach them. Up rides a guy on a trike, with a name meaning male cow. Winds up from the service road and lands a plug on top of em', and hooks up. Climbs down and lands the fish, and releases it.

Works his way back up to the service road, a short while later another pod comes through. Winds up and repeats the earlier cast. This time he hooks up with a decent fish. Looked to be in the low 20's from where I was.

Pretty impressive casting demonstration. So yes, I have seen a roadcaster hookup before.

I am not recommending anyone try it, but it is the easiest way to add 10-15 yards to a cast when necessary.

I've been curious about this... Whether you get farther from up higher versus out farther.. (top of the bank versus at the waters edge on a ** low)

I'm with you on this---I think that it actually decreases your cast, unless you're in a spot with a very steep and short bank.

Sometimes you can get a lot better footing and it will make a difference...
