anyone any ideas how to measure a perfect cast, using a lead ?

Cast out to where you want to be using some landmark on the other bank for
your direction. mark the line with an indelible marker pen, available from
Smiths in various colours.
Next time overcast the spot you are aiming for and then wind the line back
until you reach your indelible mark.

Note. I have never tried this but it seemed a good idea.
