Difference between new guard old guard.

New guard way= "where did you catch those fish"

old guard= "Nice fish, good job" ( notice not asking for a spot)

New guard= " thanks for the tip bud, I went to your spot but got skunked, I know you said the bite was on eels but I used a rainbow bomber instead! why did I get skunked"

Old Guard= " Thanks for the tip, slammed them on eels tonight, you were right ! "

New guard= " hope you dont mind , I took five of my buds to that spot where you took me the other night, we cant wait to go back! "

Old guard= " Enjoyed your company, thanks for putting me on some fish, call me if you want company again, better yet I will invite you if I find some down my way, thanks again"


Is anyone getting the picture yet!!!!!

No, I'm not getting the picture yet. I'm approaching my 5th year surf fishing and the majority of folks I fish with range from 3-20 years experience. Even though some of us may be considered new by your definition above, we do not ask those types of questions. Perhaps my exposure to them and my old neighbor the sharpie taught me what to ask & what not to ask. Again, assuming all surfcasters <5-10 years experience have nothing to offer is a big mistake.
