I have been thinking about hooking a pedometer on my back or shoulder to count casts in a day. Has anyone ever found an accurate way to determine number of casts?

Figured out vertical jigging hops once....when river jigging I make about 22 hops of the jig per minute which in 8 solid hours means 10,560 3ft hops...

When I was a swimmer I had a lap counter that wasnt much bigger then a ring. I touched it with my thumb each end of the pool to count laps. Im sure it would work on your hand or mounted on your rod/reel.

how many cast do you make in a minute? 2 or 3 ? so 2.5x60 minutes x 14 hours
then subtract time lost for moving to new spots, changing baits, having a snack, relasing a fish ect.
or just count em

When it comes to catching muskie,toss out a nice big lure that trolls nice and easy...and enjoy the scenery..Cover more area and save the body all the wear and tear. My personal opinion anyways...
10,000 Casts

Just use the musky formula for every musky you have caught you should have made 10 000 casts right? Lol

I divide the pain in my shoulder by 30 years and multiply by 4 or 5 days a week for a average 6 hour day at 40 casts per hour times a 6 month season equal DON'T REALLY KNOW the only math I was any good at was geometery on a pool table.

I prefer not to think about the number of casts. That can mess with your mindset. Just get out and enjoy the fact you are fishing. I've caught fish on the first cast of the day, so that really messes up the statistics anyways.

When I was introducing my two sons to pitching for "teeth" a decade or so back the question came up a few times
"Hey dad, how many casts does it take to get a 25 pounder....??"

My reply, "Just one!"

They were patient and didn't complain (too much)..*G*
