Yip Im going to enter.Same with the blind river comp when I find out when that is.Not to worried about prizes or anythin im just more keen on sein what can be caught
Obviously I dont intend to damage other peoples line,I try to stay away but I do take great pleasure in sein that dude that walks right upto ya and and starts casting his boat rod right over top of
I never had any problems with others getting into my casting zone. At times I had people stand behind me while flycasting but thats a different issue.
I have not let seen a person cast a boat rod far enough to interfere with my line anyway. With a half decent technique and correct weight it is possible to get good distance but most seem to have strangely balanced tackle. I quite often use boat rods while surfcasting. With them you can,t be tempted to cast towards the horizon. They are no good when the sea is big.
All 3 times have been at the wairau bar when I was fishing just outside the mouth.Not all were boat rods and I prob only cut two of them off just an example of what happens to ya mono when it invades my space.
As you would know the bar can be very busy. I never surfcast there during the summer. I often watch people surf casting (while spinning) and have never seen them catch anything decent. A good red cod spot during the winter.
yeah youre not wrong.I dont fish there anymore unless im spinning.Even then I dont go all the way to the bar for a Kahawai,I prefer to stay up the river a bit up near the bus turn-around bay.
