Surfcasting=Baitfishing?

[Karl F]

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

Reminds me of the debates we would have in art school.."what is the difference between art and craft???"

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??

[Nebe]

Bunkerman???? The best fishermen adapt.

[fishaholic18]

Yeah, I guess there are a ton of exceptions.
Who cares anyways? It's all fishin'////
