Surfcasting=Baitfishing?

[tattoobob]

I don't think it is the same thing,
I would like the true of surfcasting?

Anyone got a real answer?

my wife says the definition is: A jerk on the end of a line, waiting for a jerk from the other end of the line...

I like this one, better tho:

I think it's just casting from shore, artificial, or bait.. either way, your casting something into the surf

eeling is bait fishing isnt it?? is #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& not a surfcaster? I think he is a very good one.

Tossing a chunk at high noon off the beach and sitting in a lawn chair is surfcasting too.

Minature golf is still golf isnt it ??

If it makes you feel good calling yourself a surfcaster when baitfishing then more power to you. Both surfcasters and baitcasters are fishermen.
I also agree, not the same.
#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& is an above average fisherman.

Boy, does this topic ever bring back some fond memories of a long ago, far away place

Dougie and his dog Lughead expound on what constittes a REAL surfcaster, and a 100 page flame war erupts.

Some familiar names in there, before mellow middle age set it

Ah, the good old days

I have to respectfully disagree.

Fishing with live bait or working a dead eel thru the rocks is in no way shape or form in the same category as sitting on yer a$$ holding a rod with lead and a chunk on the end of the line.

Miniature golf IS NOT real golf.

And #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& does not exist anymore, it's Bunkerman now.

[Nebe]

but if you cast your bunker head into the surf are you not surf casting?

what about the guys who bounce squid in the spring with as little lead as possible- that is an almost lost art.

am i fly fishing if i drop a deciever off of a wooden egg??

[Fishpart]

Duh..#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& is NOT Bunkerman...Bunkerman is from Jersey...

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& is now Pogieman as he is a RhodeIslander.......

[Skitterpop]

[reelecstasy]

Surfcasting=beach/rocks/without boat-from land.....call me whateva ya want, just call me when they're bittin

[ThrowingTimber]

If your surfcasting hard... You aint got a beer in your hand thats for sure

[bluzjamer]

I just want to know when #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& becomes drummer man!

[Rockport24]

I guess it's all surfcasting, it's just some of us are more hardcore than others. I gotta admit though, I have become somewhat of a surfcasting snob hanging out on this board, but I have also caught a lot more fish....
I know it's wrong, but I always kind of laugh at the guys that are showing up at 9am when I am on my way home and have enjoyed some good pre-dawn fishing. But then I remember, hey, they get out when they can, and it's all about fun and relaxtion, not how hardcore you are...
not everyone can be as crazy as all of us and wake up at 2am!

[tattoobob]

Well I find that in different areas or beaches it takes different ways to catch fish and I will use what ever it takes, Sea Worms, Sand Eels, chunks, rubber, plastic, wood, live lining, Live eels, rigged eels . what ever it takes. the whole idea of asking was I was talking to someone and he was telling me it was all surfcasting which is true, but plug fishing is plug fishing, eel fishing is eel fishing, and so on. to me surf casting is a term to explain all of the above, if that makes any sence

[beamie]

Is anyone really a "Surfcaster" on those nights or days when there is not a breath or air and no swell?????? Maybe the better term would be "Landcaster"
