this months workout:

Fishing:

More importantly casting

Now, we used to think we were experts on the subject until we met someone who was truly proficient, so today’s workout is going to be for the beginners and the intermediate, anyone seeking the advanced workout will have to wait until we’ve perfected it ourselves.

For the beginner: Use a zebco closed face button release reel. Hold pole horizontally and straight out in front of yourself. Push the button in and hold it. Swing the pole back over your head and whip it forward. Be sure to release the button as you whip it forward. Splash…good! But next time don’t release the pole when you release the button. Okay, go find another pole and repeat until your arm feels like its going to fall off…or for about 5 minutes.

For the intermediate: Do the same as the beginner, only be sure to look behind yourself before you whip the pole forward, this should eliminate the annoying hats that keep collecting on the hook. To make this workout harder, use an open reel.

That’s it for this month, remember don’t over do it!

oh, I don't recomend doing this workout with a friend whose doing it...and don't ever stand behind a beginner...unless of course you like fishing lures as hair decorations...

What about for the advanced caster?

For the advanced, Have a friend stand facing you at about 20ft away. Have the friend hold a hat loosly in his/her hands at about waist high with feet spread about 2ft apart. Okay, cast your line over the friends left shoulder, make sure you stop the line as soon as it clears the sholder, the line should drop down the back and loop up through the space betweeen the legs and the lure should land squarely in the hat...

Okay, so we've never actually tried this (as you recall, we already stated we aren't advanced). But we have seen it done many times.
