can i justify this

[DZ]

When I initially made a post that drew a heated response from my friends I began to re-analyze how what I said could be interpreted. Not knowing that Piemma was ill I can understand his reaction.

My comment “No Dyed in the wool surfcaster would buy a boat” was painted with to broad a brush. Obviously there are many sets of circumstances and reasons that would cause an avid surfcaster to “go the way of the boat.” My apologies to all.

Most of you who know me well realize that I would not knowingly say something hurtful. Most of you also know that I’m passionate about surf casting and place it above all other forms/methods of angling. That is me and just how I feel.



That said, even I have enjoyed fishing from a boat. Many of my friends have boats and invite me from time to time but for some reason won’t let me aboard with korkers. So far I’ve only found one boat that will let me on with korkers – the Block Island ferry. Some of the more passionate surf rats I know use boats in an ingenious way – to access another piece of shoreline! That’s my kind of boat.

And Jim, now that we’ve hijacked your thread. Get yourself a boat.
