That's a good e/m quote. However, "Even a broken clock is right twice a day" is my favorite.

As far as tackle shop stories go, if I wasn't there, it didn't happen.

Hi Jenn...- hope all is well.


My thoughts on your question -
I don't make chit chat at tackle shops or parking lots etc... a simple hello is the most you'll get out of me, not that I have the answers or the questions and that's why I never pretend to, like most on these sites. I think Tlapinski hit the nail on the head when he said the following:..,

I think some of us, myslef included at times, need to realize that none of our words are gospel. Every aspect of surf fishing from plugging to eeling to chunking comes with different levels of skill. The basic idea of each type of fishing is easy and basic, but the nuances of each is what separates the average fishermen from the consistantly successful ones. If you limit yourself to only one method of fishing, you are possibly losing out on some memorable experiences and catches. If there was one single way to to catch large every time, there would not be so many options available to us in the surf and the challenge many of us hold so dear would not exist

...I enjoy good company and will make a detour with a reel GOOD friend if my plans weren't carved in my mind. Like I said, I enjoy good company, Life is about having fun first, catching fish second. If you don't feel the same way, I really don't want to fish with you....at all. Doesn't matter if you know where the holy ground is either...I used to strictly fish alone but over the years I've learned that good company is better than a big fish <alone>...and sometimes a big fish will get you bad company, so you figure it out.

I may have strayed off the question, : Answer, I don't believe MOST people...I could probably count the people I believe on one hand and still have a couple of fingers left over to pick my nose. ....So, NO I don't listen or believe people...I don't even like to listen to most because time is always ticking....TIC TOC,,,TIC TOC....

Bloo, All is well, thank you!

the question didnt actually come from going out of my way to make chit chat at the tackle shop.....but for some reason I have found people OFFERING IT UP a lot lately!!!! Which strikes me as odd. I say a simple hello and they start talking! Myself, if someone asks me I never lie about it, but I certainly dont spew out details either. I like to keep it vague and simple.Anyway it just made me curious how much trust or distrust there is among fishermen. (hey I cant help it I am curious about silly things...)

C'mon...you've been on hear long enough,,,, you should know by now, aLOT of guys just want the self-gratifucation of thinking they know it all...

....and better yet, to a young woman who'll probably out-fish them!!!

[Jenn]

well I dont know about the outfishing part but.....


no it just seemed REALLY odd to me that 98% of the time it seemed that no body would speak a peep in the parking lot, beach, etc. !!!! it seemed like everyone wanted just to be left alone while fishing! Which is understandable but how many people do you pass and say hello and they act as if you arent even there! As for the self gratification, well yeah I do know better, though I think it' s odd that lately it seems EVERYONE I ran into was talking!
