Long Casts or So What

[Kris]

My days long casting are pretty much limited to deep diving crankbaits and other retrieve style lures. With most other things I believe the accurate casting, flippin and pitchin are better in a controllled  area. Most long casts for me are along grass and stone lines to look for lurking fish.
I agree with those that said above. Not to say that I am right because I'm probably not. lol

And again, it all depends on what you're doing, is all the fish are being caught off ledges in 25 feet of water you're going to be at a slight disadvantage making 20 foot casts. By the same token, if all the fish are being caught in 5 feet of water by shore you're not going to be making 75 yard casts. I'm talking about big fish for a tournament. Sitting on Oneida throwing a spook you're going to be making long casts, the water is clear and the fish get spooky if they think a boat is there. There are times when you'll need to throw a bait like a jig jig worm , jig and tube etc a long way. it just depends on what the pea brained little critter is doing that day or hour.
