are you kidding?? Sorry but Steve should be held acountable for his actions. Yes he is a nice guy, yes he has helped alot of guys out including me, but this article of his is just about the worst thing you could do as a surfcaster.. As a local narragansett surfcaster, i feel like he just slapped me right in the face. Steve is the bad guy here John.. the pen is mightier than the sword and there was quite a bit of blood spilled this month.  I just lost alot of respect for him and i will tell him that the next time i see him...
The key to a good surfcasting article is to write up a puzzle.. give clues, give suggestions give just enough to get the reader jazzed and most importantly steer the reader to come to his own conclusions on how to fish an area......
What he did is more like handing out a treasure map with the keys to the castle, plus the secret handshake....
poor form imo.. |

Eben, the poor form is the 180 you did on this subject 
you started out not pissed at all and now you lost respect for him.
What's done is done. Get over it and move on people, maybe we all learned something from this subject. No sense flaming a guy who doesn't even have a computer to defend his actions. Take it up in person. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

You know, from my point of view, I've never fished there and I found that article interesting. I may never visit there, but if I do one day, I'll know at least something. It's a fishing mag, a good one too. What'd ya expect? My spots get mentioned all the time. Crowds 'em up in the daytime, but in the dark of night, not so much damage is done. The only thing that really concerns me is trash. But if our enforcement guys were enforcing, trash would nearly be eliminated with a few hefty fines. I think that I'm babbling now, sorry...

But everyone is supposed to go to the Cape. Rhody is just a postage stamp place with no fish 
Eben, what Steve did might be what he was trying to do, right the best article he could. Did it go over the line? Oh yeh - you bet your ass it did. But then be sure to criticise, Joe Lyons, Canalman, Manzi, Pickering, Charlie Soares (he's coughin up a lot as of late), Tim Coleman, and everyone else that has wielded the mighty pen. But be consistent and challenge articles, well written or not, of places that are not "NIMBY" to you. Then, you might as well criticise all the loose lips in Narragansett and SoCo that PM and e-mail spots and reports and access into private places too. It is a phenomenon not just limited to OTW and The Fisherman. |
