 FISH CASTING GAMES TO PLAY WITH YOUR FISHING POLE OR YOUR CAN CASTER YOU MADE IN CLASS
GAME OF HORSE-
Equipment - Fishing pole with a casting plug or a can casting rig with a plug and a trash can or a bucket-
Object-the game is played like the basketball game only with a fishing pole. If you make your casting plug go into the bucket then your friend needs to cast it into the bucket or they will get a letter.
Game of Golf-
Equipment-you need a fishing pole or a can casting rig with a plug on it or hula hoops / buckets/ or trash cans and make up a golf course -
Object of the Game-after you cast you walk up to your casting plug as you reel it in and that is where the first cast lies- you see how many casts it takes to make it into each hole on the golf course. The lowest course wins the golf match.
