Surfcasting.....extreme sport or not?

[joe the plumber]

I dont consider surf fishing a sport.I feel it is a hobby.I also consider it [surf fishing] more like hunting than fishing as it is known by 99% of other people.I will say this.Surf fishing is the most physical demanding of any form of recreational fishing.Thats what has allways attracted me to it.

Skishing and deep-wading (like above your chest) is pretty extreme. You should be a very good fisherman, particularly adept at fish handling, before you migrate over to skishtown. Using a wetsuit does not make you extreme - but handling a pissed-off bluefish in water up to your chin is pretty extreme.
