I thought Zeno's article was an all around great summary of fishing MTK - and even "rock-fishing" in general. If I ever go to MTK I'll read it again.
Another reason I disagree about tossing (or torching in Eben's case  ) old magazines. You never know when you may want to reference an old article. Like keeping an archive of fishing info... |

I read the article this morning and got alot out of it I liked the smile on the guys face as he puts away a 30 pounder. who wants to go this weekend?
I also liked the warning about getting mugged for your spot.

It was a great article but I don't think I would enjoy being mugged like that. I bet BM would love fishing in close quarters with the New Yawkers..  |

I liked it
I liked the Montauk article and since I'm planning a trip there next month it may help a little. But I'm not skishing.  oke:
There were two spots in that issue that they "burnt" although if you hav'nt heard of Montauk and the Salmon River i'm not sure you are a fisherman. At neither of those spots are parking or access a problem. Mugging, I think is how a lot of fishing is in NY/NJ. It usually is cause there are fish there, but that does'nt mean they are all fishermen. I remember on the Salmon River walking up thru a run and one guy telling me there were no fish in the river, 5 feet in front of him there was a 25 pound king, he could'nt see it. Cast in unison now boys. 
I kinda thought the editorial did speak to the surfcasters concerns when they said that 83% of there subscribers have a boat or have access to one, in other words this is how much we care about you. I also looked thru the adds to see how many are related to surfcasting, umm...maybe smackit lures.
I often wonder how much of a market there is for a pure shore fishing mag, I do not see much advertising support available for one. |

This is one sport that would be better off without the media, the mags or the TV shows.
Let the weekenders enjoy theirs and the diehards keep theirs.
Anyone can invest as much of themselves as they want into surfcasting, and reap the rewards of their work. Part of it is finding the spots, who's getting what where, migration, tackle shops, sharpies, etc...
Or beach chairs, beers, kids, umbrellas, bonfires... whatever you want it to be, you can make of it.
