"Ya might be a googan if"...You hold a spinning rod in your right hand with the reel on top and set the hook by pulling on the line. And other gems found on http://www.cafelocale.com/discus/messages/15/35244.html?1094512663

Gee steve I guess you'll have to start making references to Panamanian hohouses and jealous husbands in everything you write if you ever want to get over your googan status. That's the mark of a REAL surf guru!!

nah....keep it! :hihi:

BB - The "Technical" term for that method of lure retreival is called: Backwinding ... It is a practice most commonly used by tourists with Honey Lamis and Penn 6500 reels on Nantucket. It is also somewhat frequently seen at the Ditch.

Now, one way to induce "Backwinding" amongst elite Tourist Anglers is to have a couple guys show up using conventional gear. With the conventional reels sitting on top of the rod, the method challenged tourist sees this and in order to prevent him or herself looking like a fool, rotates the typically Penn 6500 Spinning reel typically mounted on a Honey Lami rod 180 degrees and starts turning the handle in reverse. Sadly, this in fact seperates the unkowing tourist from the knowing tourist.

I once posted telling people where to find a thread where Stetzko had written down the story of the Pochet Blitz where he caught Bertha. . This was a rare psoting by Tone many years ago before he started the internet scene regularly on FFSW. The Dog Blaster called me a "Garbage Scow" and closed the thread. I guess he didn't want to share his pedestal with Tony that day.

Congrats Flap! As surf fishermen Im sure we value unsolicited opinions very highly!

Karl youre killing me with "The Dog Blaster" I dismissed him as a tool when I read his views on poppers.. :rollem: Then I was told about how he aint allowed out there... I couldnt stop laughing... the yuppies seem to still have him on that pedestal though... :laugha:

The Dog Blaster - that's too much! An award for who ever came up with that - maybe one of those pictures from the Victoria's Secret catalog that the Dog Blaster cuts out and puts in his books to "reward" the people who buy one. :jester:

yeah, repeat after me: you can't catch big fish on poppers (or bottle plugs), no one knows how to fish anymore, the cape sucks!!!
