There are a lot of guys fishing who are older than me but have not been fishing as long as I have....I don't just give these guys respect just because of their age.Let me see you putting yer time in, making an effort to really learn a spot...I'll respect that.
It was like I was telling someone last week , I love R.I. because when the guys down there see me they don't look at me as an out of stater trying to catch their fish (at least I've never felt that way) and from Sept - Dec they see me down there A LOT , they see i'm putting in my time and i'm always respectful of those around me and the beaches , so, to them i'm just like them, a surfcaster with bass on the brain, i've felt respected by the guys I always run into and I give it back to them....I CANNOT say that for most of the Mass. guys...which side of the bridge do you live on?!
