[/QUOTE=Joe]I wonder what kind of reception a young person would get today if he were to presume to know enough to write on the subject? You think that he would be welcomed with open arms by the surfcasting community or dismissed based upon the fact that he did not have 30 or 40 years experience?

IMHO, it's so difficult to quantify skill when you release most of your fish that the only way many people judge a surfcaster is by years in the water.

I hope that people would judge the quality of the writing and the strength of the content, but I doubt it.

Anyway:
1) 20 Years - Daignault
2) Reading the Water - Post
3) Secrets of Surfcasting at Night - Bentsen (the best chapters)
