Glasgow Casting Club

Can anyone remember when we called a halt to the Thursday evening sessions last year, due to darkness descended ? I ask particularly because I believe Gary Scott is intending to come along, with some new rods, on 16 September. I shouldn't imagine there'd be much light after 7.30 by then, and since most folk don't arrive till after 7pm .... ??

I can't remember Jim, but as you say it should be soon. I would guess this Thursday may be the last before the switchover?

I had a look at sunset time  http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=90

At this time of year we get very little time between sunset and darkness so I think 1935 next Thursday is cutting it fine considering it's a 1900 start. Especially with a world champion guest.

Interesting to watch the wee fox tonight passing within a few feet of us. Teither, they are of course sneaky thieves, should your DTX disappear you'll know what's to blame. Just being helpful.

You are right Malcolm. I'll go along early anyway, but it looks like Sundays from now on.

We had fun tonight. Denbo from Gambia was out running and stopped to chat. He adopted Teither as "daddy" and got some casting instruction in return.

Malcolm tried Harelug's Sage set up and liked it. I tried Malcolm's Harrison #3 rod and liked it. Harelug tried my Orvis rod and liked it but couldn't get on with Malcolm's at all. One man's meat....

Talking of meat, the kebab-eating fox turned up again. I'm sure it is looking to brush up on its casting technique, but on the other hand it was eying and stalking the Knightswood park swans quite intently for Christmas dinner, in between checking out the litter bins.

Once we go to Sunday morning switchover (I'll likely be fishing this coming Sunday) I'll video us for critical analysis on the day. Should be an eye opener for many of us. I know I was horrified to see a front view of myself casting. Then again a front view of myself is always pretty unpleasant, rod in hand or not...

They sure are sneaky thieves, and they're not alone ! But I've shot a few of those sneaky thieves in my time .. and jailed a few as well !!
Just being helpful !!   

Open-eyed Teither !

one for the salmon types, Andrew Toft, has offered to come to the cc and do a bit on spey casting with you, he is busy with this stuff so asks when would be the best time for everyone to be there that is interested, im guessing its a sunday but decide which one would suit and ill let him know.

Alan,
        Two points from one of " the salmon types " - 1  -  Would look forward to another Andrew visit. Any Sunday does me. I'm there from just after 9am every Sunday, bar the sixth Sunday of each month.
                                                                       2  -  Given your condescending tone re " salmon types " can it be assumed that you are not the " Zoomer " who has just joined the Salmon Fishing Forum ?  :makefun :makefun

Three things conspire against me coming to the Glasgow club this Thursday.

1) It will be dark early o'clock
2) The weather is carp
3) Traffic - the pope's visit is on Thursday and the traffic will be even worse than usual.

Sorry I won't make it guys. Looks like I'm switching to Sundays from now on - possibly starting this Sunday, or maybe next.

Is he not coming along for a quick cast?
