Bill is cut from a different cloth than the run of the mill surfcaster. He is passionate about his craft and to him it is a craft. It's not "just fishing" It part of who he is. I fish with a couple of guys who do not post on any internet site and they also believe that surfishing is "part of who we are".

Some of #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&'s post rub some people the wrong way but, as with anyone who is passionate about something, this will happen. Bill is the consummate surfcaster, a dedicated surfman and a decent guy. He may state his opinions in a way that offends some people but who on this board has not offened someone.
let's keep this whole thing is perspecive. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I see no useful purpose served by calling people ignorant for what they believe in.
Now, that's my opinion, for whatever it's worth.

I'm sure he is a good guy .For some reason the written word is not always conveyed in the same matter as if spoken.
(part of who we are)
thats what makes our little internet community so special we all share part of who we are for the love of the sport.In this thread BM an Flap have shown their dissaproval of this thread along with DZ.Now I have read an witnessed countles presentaions or how to's by all three of these fine fisherman.
