As a very inexperienced saltwater fisherman I am learning more and more by watching these videos. I know that I will have to adapt a little different technique with some of this due to limited use of my right arm but I have always been able to adapt and overcome challenges to get the desired results of whatever the issue is. Thank you for these videos and instructions.
Great video and info! I’ve been freshwater fishing for many years and I consider myself a pretty good caster, but I struggle casting at long distances so I think that learning the Dart cast will help me a lot. Thanks.
100% To extend your fly cast gotta learn the single haul first and THEN graduate to the double haul to get you furthest and most accurate casts. Conventional talked guys have it WAY easier than us fly fisherman – the double haul is hard to learn but the rewards are worth it! Those of us who know, KNOW! Lol!
Great tutorial, totally practicing this dart cast. This literally happened to me over the weekend. Had a large school of +/- 2.5′-3′ stripers feeding under a dock with a boat lift and a green light emminating down from the dock.
I spent 45mins trying to hit this 10′ green lite spot on the water from across a large boat canal. I was trying not to hit the dock, the pilling, or the guys lifted boat. Couldn’t get the weedless shad on the fish. Just kept coming up a couple of feet short or going too far over and hitting something. Could see huge fish but just couldn’t get the lure on them. Drove me completely insane. This will definitely be practiced for the next time I go back for them. Thanks, Cheers !
Hey great video. Are you left handed fishing a right handed spinning rod. Or is it like what people say how you should fish a bait caster. Casting with rod in your off hand. I don’t understand the extra movement of switching your rod between hands.
Thanks Luke, great lesson…I can see one big mistake I make is the leader length – your example is about 18 inches – I’ve been casting with too much leader…
Since I am coming from fly fishing this seems to be the same idea a throwing flies, let the rod do the work
great job working thru the details. Good mention on weight of the lure and loading the rod, I have made that mistake.

Great video, does being left handed affect any of the techniques. Are there any adjustments that I should take into consideration for this
Great video on casting. I have so much to learn
Being a fly fisherman always think of 10-2 position when loading the rod, or using your index finger to control the back cast,

My cast is odd because I feel more comfortable casting with my left hand at the top and then retrieving the lure with my right hand.
