I don't think so, but really have no idea. just my thinking, that if there is no hook on the line, you aren't fishing. From my understanding of the regs, seems like sportfishing requires a hook. Never done it out of season, but in the summer, I take the hook off one of my biggest spoons, and the gf will cast it out just so she's involved. She absolutely doesn't want to catch a fish (vegetarian and animal lover), but wants to do something while I fish, and just likes casting for something to do. I don't think practice casting is illegal.... but maybe I'll learn otherwise....
