get a life sea dangles, the net is a giant sand box. some play well woth others and some throw sand. If you dont like what others say, ignore it, or move on.
Personal attacks like that are enough to be banned from this site IMO.

No, it's too good of a thread for that. We're all adults here. If we all can act like ones for the duration, I'll let it stand "as is". If not, I'll start editing out the crap.

I guess they'll alway's be two side's to every coin....I was brought up to respect my elder's ...whole different generation coming up behind me for sure...I never fished with clamma,,just had a few talk's in passing,,but I still have much respect for the man......if I read some of these post's right it means that if you haven't fished with/gotten patted on the back/gotten picked up off the ground after fallin on your face/ given secret chitt info. on how to whatever//no one get's poo from you?? never fished or talked to #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& either..but respect his way of fishing...in the dark..alone
for the most part..keeping hole's an info. to himself...earned the hard way I'm sure just like us OLD FARTS have alway's done and not by FISHING in the internet............. that's my side of the coin...agree or disagree that's your choice and I'll respect that.

Old guard.....schmold guard......its fishing for cryin' out loud....and most of the "old guard" are dead! Nothing left but a bunch of self-appointed...self-annointed new generation surfcasters......lets all fish dammit!

Maybe the younger generations have just been brought up differently; as in just because your old enough to be considered an "elder", doesn't mean you're going to get any respect if you don't deserve it.

Eben basically said that a few pages back and I couldn't agree more.

I also think no matter how much info you are given or hand holding you get it all in how it's applied. Time in or on the water will always be the deciding factor.

[bloocrab]

This post has been amusing...,,, Thank you.

I think "old guard/new guard"...a buncha bloochit if you ask me,,, I'm still not even sure I know what that means...

I'll tell you who I respect though.....I respect that old guy who I see fishing off the bridge in the same spot almost every day after the fish have arrived. The same guy who's caught thousands of fish from that very same bridge through-out the years, BIG FISH too!!. He doesn't drive to the "outer beaches" or SoCo anymore, he no longer scouts for spots...Why do I respect him so much??....because he just simply fishes <ALOT>. Actions ALWAYS speak louder than words.

Who I don't respect is the guy who's Suburban is all decked out with fishing gear...top-a-da-line everything....and don't know squat about what he's doing. Keeps driving around looking for crowds because there MUST be fish around if there's a crowd...Quick to tell you about all the new fishing toys he owns or is going to buy just to "fit in"...Pulls out a brand new plug he just bought and minutes later is asking you how to fish it.............YOU BORE ME YOU BIG DOPE!!

I've fished a few legs/flings whatever you want to call them. I've met some interesting people too...I can tell by reading this thread, I wouldn't enjoy fishing with some of you...(I know, you probably wouldn't enjoy fishing with me either)...I ain't better than anybody, just giving my honest opinion.

On the other subject.......You should ALWAYS respect your elders!!! ...I ain't talkin about someone 2 years older than you ...someone considerably older. What's wrong with you people??.....What are you going to do, get into a fist-fight with a 70 yr. old man because he cut you in line at a MOBILE station??...I hope he kicks your a$ses!!!

I ain't no-where close to CapeSam's age, but he's right....

whole different generation coming up

...

....

[Karl F]

miss your posts.....glad ya did on this one.

[bart]

i don't think its fair to say that the newer generation has no respect for the guys who've been at it a long time. ima youngin and fish mostly with guys who are older than me and i'd like to think i have gained their respect. before i started fishing with them i would hike it down to SoCo by myself from franklin 3-4 times a week and fish my balls off, a lot of times for a skunking. i think if you put your time in and show a real appreciation and passion for the sport then you will earn respect.

Hmmmm the past few nights I think the old guard is doin just fine

What's an Old Guard? Sgt. Schultz?

Im in the same boat as you bart(or on the same beach). I don't understand what makes some of the older guys in the sport believe that all of the new generation is disrespectful. I give all of the people I fish with all the respect they deserve and they have tought me a ton.
