As said in title when I cast over distance I tend to scue the cast to the right of the target, pretty sure its something basic I'm doing wrong but can't quite work it out. Anyone got any ideas 💡

It's largely the trailing arm that determines accuracy mate. Work on getting that arm punching directly at your target and you should see an improvement

Yeh thanks for the reply, I watched a Terry Edmonds video which said exactly that, thought it may be something else I was missing as well as that .

Aim a bit further left.......

Make sure your foot placement is right aswell. For me personally find this to be a fairly big factor in my accuracy

Mate of mine had exact same problem, he used to do a lot of sea dishing using the pendulum cast, so had the habit of pulling his front hand round his body, finishing near his hip, this caused the lead to arc right.
So check where your front hand is finishing up after you have released the line, it should be in the centre of your body.

Most likely trying too hard mate, it's usually the reason for good technique going wrong. If your aim is good at shorter ranges, slowly increase until you are getting your aim consistent at longer range, and keep going up until your aim is good and you are giving it all you can. I've found it easier going up in steps rather than trying to go flat out from the off

Thanks guys 👍👍 I'll look at extending the distance in steps , sounds a good plan.

I had a casting tuition with TE money well spent can honestly recommend contacting him.

I find my biggest issue with casting is the trees/bushes in the swim mostly. Worried I'll catch my line before I've even got it out into the pond

Yeh found that too if trees aren't trimmed back, last lake I fished like that I found 9ft rods a real bonus, or wading out to cast.

I'm no expert, I think naturally my casting action is not great and a bit random sometimes, I find unless I concentrate on everything I do, my casts stray right too. I then have to remind myself of two things, to not look at the rod and only and the target and also to pull my left hand into my gut and not my side. This normally focuses my mind and gets things back on track
