Casting Practice

“Casting Practice” Cedar Park, 2023

Today at lunch I rode down to the neighborhood park to practice casting with a new fishing rod and reel. I got a Kastking baitcaster which is my first baitcaster type reel. It’s challenging to use! But it’s fun to learn, and the mistakes I’ve made practicing here at the grassy field were a great learning experience. The “birds nests” that I created weren’t too terrible!

But it’ll take a while before I am able to cast with decent distance effectively. Lots of fun, though!

A new park just opened in our town, and it has a large lake at its center. I went with Piplup to check out the fishing, and although we didn’t catch anything, we had a very nice ride. And as a bonus, I got a tip about a good fishing spot from another fisherman. Score!
