Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. As you move the rod forward, ensure that the rod tip is perpendicular with the water's surface. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.

Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole holder. These holders hold the rod securely and keep it upright. These holders are easy-to-store and prevent rod damage.
