Maybe it's me but somehow this thread seems directed at somebody, thinly veiled and not in a nice way. Hmmm, who could that be?
J. Golden's statement makes no sense at all. If you have a talent, in this case fishing, shouldn't you be allowed to capitilize on it, meaning make it pay by bringing some one who does not have the skill, where-with-all to cruise the beach and experience something he may have ownly read about? Free enterprise.
Anyway, maybe you only fish in very crowded places like the canal and such and have formed your opinion thusly. I appreciate that as I once was one of the biggest canal rats there were but the place is not the canal I knew just ten years ago and I want no part of it even though I miss it a great deal. On the other hand there are lots of places now that I fish where you hardly see anyone and there are plenty of fish and it's no where near as taxing on the equipment or body.
