BB some of these binoc guys are fat and out of shape. They wouldn't last 5 minutes hopping rocks at M.

Speedy had a funny take on it when I was talking to him the other day...he called them "Waiters".
I thought I didn't understand, thought he meant "Waders"...

He said...."No dude, it's WAITERS! The guys too lazy to actually fish until someone is hooked up, sitting there with the binocs, they WAIT till someone else hooks up and come running down, they are WAITERS! "

Great word Speedy.

Don't forget the boat guys. Last year I was fishing near the rocks in moco and this capt came within 100' of us to fish. Unbeleivable!

Epic Fishing - What does it mean to You??

I have seen this term thrown around so loosely lately that I have to confess it gets irritating to me.
....IMO one of the most over-hyped terms in usage for Saltwater fishing
I thought I would ask for opinions here......How do you define it?

Is it
Quantity of fish
Quality of fish
Duration of the bite
Can bluefish be mixed in with bass for it to be epic, or does it have to be pure bass?......Why??

Or...is it being all by yourself, away from crowds. and managing the most fish you have all season, in one night....until your arms are tired....What I'm getting at here...is how and what it is...that causes you to define a "good" trip as something more than that....what makes it epic?




Would love to hear you peoples' thoughts and opinions......thanks

Has to be pure bass. Most guys who have custom lamis, Zeebasses, and the most expensive surf gear have no interest in blues. Ever see how they kick them back into the water from the sand and don't bother waking the extra 20 feet to put them in? Bass are the only thing that matters to the coolest of the cool. Go on facebook epic is pasted on the top of every report where they got more than 10.
