Surfcasting.....extreme sport or not?

[FishermanTim]

It's not that it's extreme, but more "challenging".
Remember: If everyone did it, it wouldn't be fun anymore. It would become mundane, like fishing for sunfish with a hook and bobber.

My family and friends think I'm nuts for fishing the canal at all hours of the night. Mind you, the only dangerous encounters I've come across were animals on the road home.

I dont consider it a sport per say . Its relaxation to the left of normal !I take vacation to stay awake for a week or 2 for as long as my body will take it . I call that relaxing ( no mind stress ) compared to my job .

so how about those dolphins

It's not "extreme" by any means but we've got a technique for fishing the canal I call "guerrilla jigging". Long distance - long drifting big jigs in a fast current in deep water.
Whack a 30+#er with 150+ yrds of braid out while standing in one precarious spot and you've got a rumble on your hands.

It can be extreme if you want it to be. Boat Fishing can be very extreme. As for surf fishing its only extreme if your deep wading or skishing. Some of the places we wade are very extreme.
