So I have a question right along with a lot of the other guys who danced around it. What happened to going out and just doing it?When I started in the surf, there was no internet. You learned by hanging around the B & Ts and listening. God forbid you asked a question as the old timers would run you out of the place. better yet, they would give you the wrong answer and then watch you make a damn fool of yourself.

I don't have a problem with questions, just stupid questions. if someone wants to know how to tie a dropper loop, fine, that's a tough knot to tie correctly and not something you will find easily.

When they start asking what rod to buy and what reel to put on it, I respectfully submit that they should do some research on their own. Those questions have been answered 100 time.

Yes, the Board is hear to share knowledge but there is also a line where the majority of the population is not being served by the questions asked by a few. Just my opinion.

No boat, back in the suds.
