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.

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.

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
