Casting Clinic:
Ft. DeSoto Park, East Beach, Saturday, June 28
by Capt. Pat Damico
Seventeen members were present for our seventh casting clinic which lasted from 8 to 10:30. Assisting Pat Damico were Terry Kirkpatrick, Charlie Most and Mike Mazzo. Richard Oldenski had plenty of coffee, donuts and cold beverages to keep the participants fueled as they learned new skills and improved old ones. Beginners as well as advanced casters stood shoulder to shoulder at waters edge while instructors provided plenty of hands on personal attention. Written critiques by club members were all very favorable. Some comments: "Everything was good; do not change., Presentation was great!, Lots of new tips for me., Learned why my casts were inconsistent." All members are welcome, but new members especially should take advantage of this popular event.
