Casting distance

[JustJames]

Accuracy, eh? You know how many time when I aimed to a log, end up my lure got hang up onto that log right where I aimed it lol.

I more of a distance guy, I mostly bank fishing so distance help me to cover water, but also depends on location and type of lures. In smaller pond where fish roaming everywhere especially shallow water, most of the bass I caught was within 5-40 feet. In Canyon Lake about 300 acres sometime you can't find any fish with in 50'.

Type of lure, I will cast as far as I can with fast moving lure like chatterbait and Fluke but Senko I don't care much.

With all that said, you did prettygood for 30 yds with MH 6'6" rod since that rod is not optimum for distance.

Distance & accuracy are like peanut butter & jelly...they go together!

 

It doesn’t matter if you’re flipping 20’ away or casting 30 yds away, ya need to be able to hit your intended targets.

 

How accurate do we need to be?

 

Aint no answer to that question!

 

We’re flipping, pitching, or casting to where “WE” believe the bass are holding.

 

Y’all gonna tell me ya ain’t never totally & completely missed your target & still got bit?

 

Some fish I gotta hit em on the head to get bit & the next one I see the wake coming from 10 yds away.

To be honest I’ve caught some nice fish on absolutely terrible casts no where near we’re i was trying for. Sometimes it was a good thing sometimes it was a bad thing lol.

If we were honest with ourselves we would admit we wasn't even considering making a cast there!

Ain’t that the truth

Accuracy will get you better results than casting distance. Long cast will hinder accuracy. I mainly look for distance when fan casting a grass flat off shore, pretty much everything else is close quarters.
