Is the old guard losing it? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

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!
