Remember what country you're in. Lets face it, is there really much difference in the weather between February and any other time of the year. If we waited for better weather you wouldn't turn up as you'd all be away fishing instead. Forget about the weather, it's the support that counts. If Beachcaster is prepared to take this on, on our behalf then the least we can do is support him. You never know, you migh even enjoy yourselves!

Don't worry K2. Learning to cast takes time and lots of practice. The Scottish lads can wait for their challenge. They have been at it for a number of years now but we're only just starting (again!)

We are lucky that at least we have a few excellent casters in this country that have already gone through it all before and with Beachcasters help will maybe show us how to do it properly. Then and only then will we be able to accept the challenge from the Scottish lads.

Lets just worry about learning to cast in the first place. Ummh - Have you tried stroking it? That might stiffen it a little - ha! Sorry mate, couldn't resist.
