I'm not PO'd, yet. Believe me this conversation would be real short if I was. You don't need to "defend" or create a "place" for you here. That would insinuate you need a small area with walls around it to defend

(just kidding).
All I'm saying is turn it down a few notches and relax and learn.
are you always like this to new people who want to learn a bit Nope, I can't remember any new members that fought the traffic of the site so much instead of going in the same direction. I'm putting a smiley in now so you know that I'm not trying to be mean ->

When I was 14-15, I was stoned, or drunk, and skipping class, and doing all kinds of extremely STUPID things. It took me years to unscrew-up alot of the dumb things I did and it wasn't exactly easy either. Too many people in the situation I was in then don't make it back.
My biggest fish is 37 pounds from shore, I was 32 at the time. Now I think I'm a better angler but I don't get out enough to the good spots to increase my odds... That 37 pounds is probably about average for the surfcasters that have been doing it for a few years.
We're not equals - I'm twice as old as you so I've learned more, good & bad. I do hope that you are doing better than I did when I was your age, how about that? I'm not the equal, certainly in a fishing sense, of a lot of people around here.
Respect is earned. It's not just about your fishing skills or even mostly about it, it's about attitude and how you conduct yourself online. That will go a lot farther in your earning respect than anything else...
