If it was a NE wind though, you'd be surf fishing the back and shore fishing the race.:uhuh:
Its also possible you could be surf fishing the race one minute and shore fishing it shortly after.
The really serious question is though, would the fish count?

On another note, if you were fishing cutty from the rocks in a wetsuit and a fish struck your offering while you were simultaneously being lifted off your rock by a rogue wave, would you be surf casting or skishing?

You'd be crapping your your wetsuit

that article was awesome, I want to go skishing now!
I guess a van stall would be standard equipment though and I don't gots one!

Body surfing as you aren't wearing flippers!

Oh my! my head hurts now....


Surf fishing definatelty requires that your feet are on some sort of land be it sand or rock. If your in a boat you are BOAT FISHING....duh!!!!
:rollem:

surf fishing ends when you step on a boat or sit on a yak

boat fishing ends when you step off your boat or get off your yak

now don't be confusing and cast from a boat and fight a fish from shore, that is some kind of hybrid fishing to be discussed in another thread at some point this winter at a later date to be determined.

Mikey's gonna be mighty mad at you for that one, Bruce.
Good thing he doesn't get to the computer much.
I call what I do, "shore fishing."
Sometimes rocks, sometimes dry, sometimes beach.
Sometimes sandeel mustachio.
Sometimes crab claw pipe, with the rope around my head.
Sometimes I walk a long way, sometimes I just putt around Cutty getting into trouble.
Sometimes I save somebody else from trouble out there, sometimes they save me.
Usually I'm pretty happy just walking around, daytime or night.
Lots of times my friends are there.....
That's the only thing that really makes me happy.
I'd list all of you, but that would take too long.
Most often, what anybody else would deem "surfcasting" is what I do.
Caveat is that most of my friends call what I do, "Deep Sea Fishing."
It's certainly not that.
I call it "FUN."
OK that's Richard G. Bombardier Jr's definition of my sport.
I'm out.
Rick

And Bruce,
What we do from the yak is what Mikey's termed "kayaksting."
I sure as hell don't call it surfcasting, though.
I kind of call it cheating.
Catches fish, though.
Keep them damn seals away!
Lata,
Rick

Oh, and while I'm at it.
Give my Merry Xmas to all the Mays (especially Danny).
Love Ya Big Dog,
Rick
OK you get the Xtra Special Merry Xmas, too.
(my new job will let me be down with you guys almost every weekend this summer!)

hey RICK! Merry Christmas to you too :D

Dan got a chuckle outta that

Ya Mickey can be mad about that reply but kayaksting is cheating.
He can cast a pencil out further than antbody but when tossing 8 and bait, nobody can reach the drop-off so I guess ya have to cheat.
How about a remote control boat to deliver the bait?


Tell Mikey I said Hi
we love the Bomba's too :D

I consider Skishing to be in the same class as surf casting. Surfcasting is fishing from anywhere but a floating reef. Using your body and equipment only. To imply it is somehow cheating is just sour grapes. You don't know me from a hole in the wall, but trying to fight a fish in it's element is a whole lot more difficult than having terra firma under your korkers to provide you with leverage. Just my 2 cents

Your 2 cents would be worth a lot more if this thread had not died over 2 years ago. Look at the date of the last post.

Flap is still with us ! I enjoyed re-reading this thread....Thanks for all Flap.

What about kite fishing that's done from the sand

New rule. You can't post your opinion in old threads. Mods, please add that to the list. :smash:

Yup,
What Mike said is true...but then again, it was fun to re-read the post. I still feel the same way, but the seals are worse!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
Miss Ya Steve!

Lighten Up Francis :rotf2:

Good thread - funny reading it again.
