Hints on Bait Casting.

Endless pages have been written
on what to do and what not to do
in bait casting. but, boiled down,
perfect casting Is simply a matter OF
tensely you apply the four Ps-pa-
tience, practice, precision and perse-
verance.
The art of casting. being able to
cast a lure, light and huny, pait
heavy and unwieldly, as is the case

artificial minnow-to cast any of
these against the wind. with the
wind or diagonally into the wind-and
to cast thirty, forty, eighty feet or
more. is indeed an art III, 1T should mo- a., Ge
of the expert is not necessary for
ordinary pratical fishing. Nice
strings have been caught by begin
ners under favorable conditions, but
every one wants to get out of the
beginners class as soon as possible.
Casting consists of five distinct
operations-the backward stroke. the
forward stroke, a short period of
waiting for the bait to carry out.
shifting the rod to the other hand
and, finally, retrieving.
Too much stress cannot be laid on
sitting down when fishing from a
boat. A caster should never attempt
to stand-it is, above all, bad form,
it is awkward, 1t is firing and 1t Is
dangerous, because the, general run
of fishing boats were not built to
stand in but to take a seat and be
as comfortable as possible.
In making the backward stroke do
not leave too much line between the
tip and the lure, as too much may
permit of your bait looping the end
of the rod. Watch this and it may
save you the embarrassment of
throwing your rod into the water.
Go straight back with the rod over
the shoulder, the hand at the shoul-
der, elbow down close to the body.
Let the rod go straight back over
your shoulder and then bring it for
ward with both wrist and forearm
movement. pointing straight toward.
but little above. the spot you wish
to hit. Try to make your movements
smooth and easy. avoid jerkiness and
straining. Make your rod do the
throwing rather than your arm. and,
lastly, don't try 80 much for distance,
but to get accuraey. Distance will
come gradually without any effort.
