gotta agree with you guys on the respect thing. respect is earned, not randomly or easily given. i don't think that age has anything to do with respect. i know a few guys half my age that i have respect for and a few older than me that i have zero respect for. takes a lot to earn respect in my book.

I dont care how old a person is.. if they are an ass to me i will not show them an ounce of respect. That goes for their fishing capabilites as well, they might be a great fisherman, and consider themselves a sharpie, but if they are an ass, they get no respect from me. Just because they are older doesnt give them cart-blache to be an a-hole. You got to have the whole package to fade into surfcasting glory.. good catch rates, always being out and in the know, and most imprtantly, you have to be a a gentleman and a sportsman. if you have all that, people will remember you positively.
Dont trash talk people, dont criticize the acomplishments of others, and set a good example for those younger than you.. then, if your lucky, you will have a trophy named after you when you kick the eel bucket. 
Is the old guard loosing it??? nah.... but the new guard is right on their heels  |

Took me four days before I clicked to read this thread; thought it might be a pissing contest. It began as a very good thread. Got a little pissy. Can't believe i just read the whole thing. I agree with different points from all three sides. I just don't like pissing contests. I think E'man's total absorbtion/immursion/addiction to his "craft" is admirable. However I enjoy a more full/rounded non retiring life. I just enjoy striper fishing. Don't do nights much anymore, as would be alone and need to sleep/work. Today was great, caught fish, had to change gears often, and am appreciative of the skills I have acquired over the years to be able to catch today.
I thought we were all on the same side??????????????????
More respect all around please!

T-Lap...I will mark this one down too!  I am of the "just love to fish" belief.......I have not fished as hard this year as past because it has not been happening for me but I have been enjoying myself for the most part fishing with my old buddies when I can and fishing with many of my new friends here on the site. I do love to fish probably as much if not more than most but must admit to not having "it" as it is called. I work hard at it as some of my friends know, but many do just have the knack, a natural gift for working a plug, a spot, an eel and catching almost every time out. I am trying always to improve and in a couple weeks after Labor Day and the vacationers abort the Cape....I am going to give Fall a run for its money and fish it for all its worth.....cause it is gonna be another long winter! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!
