What happened to the NJ Surfcasters?

Come on now that is the biggest part of the bragging rights.
"We were on the water by sunrise and back at the barn by 9am with a full limit." The best advertisement for skill is to say you caught a lot of fish without really trying. Working for them says you are a goog or don't know how to catch. I have caught a few big fish this year have had to work almost all night to get them. Had to take the kayak out near some of the islands and paddle all over the place. by that definition I must be a goog as well. What happened to the values of yesterday where hard work and a reward for it were prized attributes for fishing? Where did our society go wrong by turning the concept of fishing into something like running through a McDonalds drive in. Get in, get out, get home in time to watch the game.
Fishing is the coolest game out there because things are always changing. Guess some folks don't believe that any more.

I agree dogfish...what's the point of limiting out on 3lb fluke so you can get back to the dock early. That's just filling the freezer with expensive filets. Anyone who loves to fish would never want to head back to the dock early.

X2, its not the numbers of fish that you can pile up. The tug is the drug.
Its the same thing at demo or any LI beach. The daytime guys will stand around until they see a blitz in front of them.

I saw some of this this morning. Lots of guys standing around. I must have missed the memo or the blitz by one day. Oh well. Make a few casts every once in a while guys! There were 2 other guys and I casting for false albacore. Even though they were far out we were trying. The rest of them were just standing around.

Maybe there is a little midget that runs around on the beach telling everyone when it's cool to start fishing.

[surferman]

No,. it's all about instagram now!

[finchaser]

Most are done as they can only catch under blitz conditions when fish commit suicide

[cowherder]

Agreed. Don't have to worry about that this year, there aren't even enough beach stripers for the binoc chasers!
