DESCRIPTION ///////

Open to CSCA members and non-members, the event will open on Saturday morning with a free, optional surf casting seminar taught by US record holder and avid surf fisherman Ryan Lambert, who will cover simple tips and tricks you’ll be able to implement that day to get extra yards on the beach or on the field.

NEW: the casting competition will be divided into the traditional “Athlete” level (standard CSCA/international rules) and a new separately-recognized and awarded “Angler” level of competition for surf fishermen seeking to casually compete and learn without the pressure of stringent international rules, or going up against exotic tackle and techniques

I'm interested in checking this out, I'm only 45 minutes from Windsor. I have never cast for distance before but this seems right up my alley. I used to compete in long drive competitions and traveled to Nevada for the Re Max world long drive championship, so this could be really fun for me to compete in, I love a challenge. Can I come out and throw with the equipment I have? I have a 12' tica with a diawa sha20. I understand I won't be competing with the professionals, but it would be a starting point and I would be able to check out some of the rods and reels the competitors are using.

Yes sir, all tackle welcome! We’re trying an “Angler” level of competition (check out the link to rules above) which might be a fun, casual way for you to try this out.

Hey Matt,
I don't do FB, but am trying to find out if there will be spaces for self contained campers, or primitive camping on the venue site.
Thanks,
A

Hey Arnav - for camping, check out First Landing State Park if you’d like to get some fishing in, or Chesapeake Campground near the Great Dismal Swamp. Numerous other campgrounds of lesser note in the area as well. There is no camping allowed at the venue as far as I know, but you can contact Isle of Wight County Parks to see if I’m wrong.

Thanks Matt, I'll look into it.

Bumping this up !
It was a tough decision ....
Heaver Day, or this tournament.
Maw said "one or the other", so I picked this one.
Hope the weather holds out.
Should be interesting.
The seminar will be a treat
Cheers !
