This invention relates to a yard casting assembly having a main target assembly; a casting connector assembly secured to an upper surface of the main target assembly; and a casting wedge member connectable to a fishing line on a casting rod and reel assembly for casting outwardly to engage the casting connector assembly. The main target assembly can resemble fish structures, wild animals, or other structures of various shapes and includes a main base member having an upright indicator member connected thereto. The casting connector assembly is provided with a plurality of adjacent catching body members adapted to receive the casting wedge member therebetween. The casting wedge member is provided with a main body member having a wedge section to be wedged between adjacent ones of the casting connector assembly. In a second embodiment, the main target assembly includes a main base member which can be (1) of an oval or circular shape; (2) constructed of a floatable material to float on a surface of a lake, pond, or swimming pool; and (3) provided with a plurality of catching body members in alignment about an outer periphery. The second embodiment includes a casting wedge member with feather members to resemble a fly casting lure. The yard casting assembly can be utilized in a method of game play testing one's skill to place the casting wedge member between the adjacent catching body members and as a means of improving the casting skills of the fisherman.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A yard casting assembly operable with a casting rod and reel assembly having a fishing line, comprising: (a) a main target assembly having a casting connector assembly mounted thereon; (b) a casting wedge member connectable to the fishing line and engagable with said casting connector assembly in a wedging action; (c) said main target assembly is provided with a main base member having an upright indicator member mounted thereon; (d) said main base member resembling the outline of a fish member having a main body section integral with an arcuate tail section; and (e) said arcuate tail section having arcuate portions engagable with a grassy support surface in order to simulate a wiggling fish structure on being retrieved by movement of the fishing line and said casting wedge member between said casting connector assembly; whereby an operator of the casting rod and reel assembly can retrieve the fishing line and interconnected casting wedge member so as to engage said casting connector assembly and move said meain target assembly to the operator to simulate a fish catching operation.
2.
A yard casting assembly as described in claim 1, wherein: (a) said upright indicator member resembles a fin of a shark member so as to provide a readily visually observable target member.
3.
A yard casting assembly as described in claim 1, wherein: (a) said casting connector assembly having a plurality of adjacent catching body members; and (b) said casting wedge member having a main body member to be cast outwardly and wedged between said catching body members.
4.
A yard casting assembly operable with a casting rod and reel assembly having a fishing line in order to improve fishing skills of an operator, comprising: (a) a main target assembly having (1) a main base member resembling an outline of a fish structure; and (2) an upright indicator member resembling a fin of the fish structure; (b) a casting connector assembly including a plurality of adjacent catching body members secured to said base member adjacent a mouth section of the fish structure; and (c) a casting wedge member connectable to the fishing line and operable to be selectively engaged between adjacent ones of said catching body members in a wedging action
