I admit it, I yard fish.  

 

When I'm re-spooling or cleaning reels I'll throw a test weight on and let our cats chase them.  

 

The only catfish I've ever caught.

At my trailer i cast off the deck and try to hit my neighbors campfire pit!

I test cast rods in the yard, so yea, I guess I yard fish. You should have seen Lucky Craft Man heaving 30 oz. of lead in my yard after I did a mod on one of his musky rods. It was leaving craters. The dogs were scared!

Yup - guilty here too!

 

New rods / reels definately get a workout in the yard.  I learned how to pitch, flip, and realy just cast a baitcaster in the yard.  I also do a lot of fly casting in the yard.  Just tying a small piece of bright yarn works great and you can practice all kinds of casts and see excatly how your line lays when it hits the grass, which is hugely important for fly fishing.
