Surf Casting and Angling Club of W.A. (Inc.) Dry Casting Report Postal Casting Competition 29 August 2004

Last update 2:15pm WST, 1 September. Write up, team scores, etc to be added when I'm sent it. First names have been added for people where I have the name. Will replace the initial with the first name when I find them out. Please contact us with any comments or extra information or if I've got the results in a wrong column. Some of this information has been copied from the casting forum, and that info was not formatted, so some results may be in the wrong weight column. TerryF
