  1. Louis,

    I understand and agree with the tip if you are trying to get the cast way out there, especially in the wind. One thing that I always felt was bad when redfishing off my flats boat was rocking the boat and creating disturbance, especially in calm water. I tried to limit lapping on the side of the boat, let alone creating waves and disturbance. Many fish I caught were a short toss away with a stealthy cast with minimal false casting. I carried that over to bonefishing with success. The method demonstrated is quite a bit more movement than I was taught to do by my guides for bonefish and tarpon. I guess if the water is rough or you (or your guide) can see fish at the limit of casting range and you are capable of an accurate long-range cast, getting a low center of gravity for line speed is the ticket. Doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea. I will practice it and try it the next time I get out on the salt. Frankly I never heard of this before.

  2. I noticed he dropped down into more of a sidearm cast when he crouched down. Dropping the whole cast closer to the water will get it below a lot of wind and help quite a bit too.
