OK, so I have no problem with younger people. My partner is 26 which I have stated before. 2 nights ago I fished with 2 friends form this board that are in their early 30's at one of my "honey holes." One of my friends got the biggest fish of his life, a 20 lber. He is new to this "rim fishing" that we do and he listens to eveything he is told. He doesn't burn spots. He doesn't "jump" spots. He is becoming a damn good surfman because he understands the ethics involved with this sport.
It not an AGE thing! It's an additude as Bill has repeatedly stated. It's like you guys haven't listened to anything that has been posted. Read Bill's post and READ between the lines. He's is stating some important things.
You know the same night my friend got his personal best, I hung a big fish. We were fishing a particularly dangerous spot with a big surge on, steep rocks, slime etc. My other friend didn't hesitate to go down the rocks to help land my fish and, in the process, took a wave over his head. I fish with these "young" guys because they are becoming the "old guard" They get it! They understand friendship, covering your partners back, and being ready to help. I trust these guys and would fish anywhere with them. You guys who fish the night watch in marginal condition, in dangerous places know what I am talking about.
