Here are a couple of shots from recent practices on the Columbia river.

Some casting conference pics at Golden Gate ponds.

No practice today,50+mph winds.

I need a break anyway,practiced the last 5 days in a row,a bit tired.
I modified the new line to get it a bit lighter-I'll report back after I cast it.

Went casting with Big Tuna today-cast his new Burkie 7126,it's awesome with a Nextcast WA45 5/6.
Smooth and easy.
Big Tuna also cast My Burkie Terminator and cranked out some nice snake rolls.

Got to practice today.
Cold and snowing but mild wind.
I'm very happy with my snake rolls and am close to mirroring my left sing to my right.

My Terminator is great,powerful with a good sence of feel and timing and very light.
The new line even did good against snow.
shot some vid of today,will post some asap.

Mr 175 and I got to do some great practice at the Golden Gate pond last weekend.
The majority of the Nextcast team was there-Me,Gene,Whit ,Doug and Simon.
Also there and practicing was Donna Sullivan ,Jim Ansite and Frank Chen
The four days we were there me and Gene had about every condition I've ever seen at the ponds and we worked on how to deal with them.
We also did a LOT of snake roll casting practice-I happy to say we both made a lot of progress.
The big surprise was Simon had new lines for us-the new line is the best he's done,it flat out WORKS!

Here is a vid collection Brian put up on Youtube.

It's pretty sweet.

I'm practicing hard,third day in a row of solid practice.
I cast with Mean Gene and Drano St Pierre Sat and here at home the last two days.
My spot at home is now ice free!
I've actually made a lot of progress,my snake rolls are better than ever and my left single is pretty good too.
The new Burkheimer Terminator Comp is great-The guys at the shop did a great job.
Drano and I had a good discussion about the intricacies of the Snake roll in competition.
It is so easy to get off plane,have tempo issues or not get lined up right for the forward cast.
