Old School : Digging or Jigging your own bait.
New School : Turning your own lures.
Old School : Ray-O-Vac in the back pocket that dies in 15 minutes flat.
New School: Ray-O-Vac on your head with a red lens and AAA batteries that last years.
Old School: Bias Tires on the beach and pinched tubes.
New School: Radial tubeless tires that rarely get a flat on the beach.

I prefer the old school mindset in most facets, but technology is too good to ignore.
Old school- hitting fish one night with a select few and going back the next and seeing only the same faces
New school- hitting those same fish with a select few, reading about it the next day one the web with mapquest direction to the spot with explicit details on how to fish it, going back and seeing every fisherman with a computer there waiting for the bite.

I must be "middle aged school" then because I do some of both.  I have a few:
New School - Mugging someone because they just caught a schoolie.
Old School - Saying nice fish after someone lands a slob and continuing to cast to your spot because you know there's a bigger fish holding there.
New School - Someone with a bag full of shiny new plugs because they heard they catch fish.
Old School - Someone with a bag full of beat up old plugs because they know they catch fish.
New School - Fishing Storm Shads with the hook protectors still on them.
Old School - Not fishing Storm Shads because you know the hooks are garbage. |

Didn't we go thru this last winter with the "New guard/Old guard" thing?
As long as you respect yourself,others and the environment does it really matter what "school" you attend?

Lets face it old school has it tough. For exmple
Old school needs nail clipper to cut line--teeth no
longer come together. New School still got teeth.
Old school needs to put on specs in addition to light.
Fingers no longer able to tie knots by feel alone.
New School should not need either, should learn to
tie knot by feel.
Happy New Year new and old school.

what if we use old school gear (glass lamis and squidders) sometimes and new school gear other times?
