Just a quick light hearted "The more things change the more they stay the same"... While a lot of things have certainly changed some good, some bad, a lot that revolves around fishing still reflects your character and those that have helped you along the way :btu: ... And it's all good...

I wear my light on my neck, cause if I wear it on my head, I can't get the line in the right spot in my bifocals to tie a knot.
Not sure if that's Old school or just old?

Swimmer 12-30-2005 11:32 AM

bifocals suck on beach
 
Try finding the right distance to hold swivel or plug at night. Light on hat is to high usually when trying to get the appropriate distance. Bending head over to point light down at swivel or the next plug your tying on. What work best years ago was sticking little black light in mouth that was tied around neck and holding it between pursed lips until the task was completed. This is old school, no doubt.

Old School - Working class guys subsidizing their fishing by selling fish.
New School - Professionals who have more money than time.

Saltheart 12-30-2005 04:45 PM

Every day you are in school. Hang on to what ever really good stuff like tackle and techniques you have learned you can rely on. Keep checking out new stuff to look for ideas and improvements to old methods or to adjust to changing conditions.

Old school -eels
New school--plastic eel looking things.

Lets face it old school has it tough. For exmple

Old school needs nail clipper to cut line--teeth no
longer come together. New School still got teeth.

Old school needs to put on specs in addition to light.
Fingers no longer able to tie knots by feel alone.
New School should not need either, should learn to
tie knot by feel.

Happy New Year new and old school.
