Back Beach,
If I look at what currently qualifies as an extreme sport, I'd say that it is. I dont mean the majority of fisherman, but the hardcore surfcaters. It takes specialized equipment, knowledge of that equipment, dedication, and most importantly - putting yourself in dangerous situations,,,,at night!

When I tell most people what I do, they think I am having an affair, who in their right mind would go out at 1am to stand in the water. When they see the $$$ and time I spend, they realize I am just crazy. Ands I know many of you are worse than me. So I do believe it compares to the extreme sports like on the X Games.

I am really suprised by those that say its not extreme....most people are sleeping at midnight, how many of you are fishing, standing in the water, perched on rocks, lugging equipment, plug bags and a cooler full of eels? That is extreme compared to walking to teh water at 9am with a box of sand worms

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
