just because you don't fish those spots anymore doesn't give you the right to kill them for everyone else still battling the elements looking for one "rat 30." you'd think someone who's been in the game as long as you would understand this...

BTW i find it funny you would call a 30 a rat when in the past you'd be the first to post a pic of anything over 20lbs from the surf....
ya true until this spring when I had 12 30lbers in a row, Jim and I were getting tired of catching fish that size...and dont tell me how or what to feel...I have certainly paid my Surf dues more than anyboday, rain, snow, wind, ice, high surf, miles and miles of walking and almost divorced..I understand everything perfectly...I have learned even before I baught a boat that "batteling the elements" is for fools, there is no need to do that exept maybe in the late fall....plenty of fish are caught on the nice nights, the smart fisherman is in bed on those he man nights, resting up because he knows better........
