You are preaching to the choir here my friend. I fish OOB in the summer and tourists alone have made me call it an early night more than once. Everything from a fresh, half shucked clam sitting right next to me thrown back into the surf (in an effort to "save it") to fat kids/surfers runing into my line to crazy Canucks tramplin on my gear and yankin on my line while it's sitting in a sand spike. What the hell are people thinking, I mean, who DOES that sort of thing?  Makes the mind wonder my friend.......tight lines!!!

Re: Surfcasting Mistakes
Why the hell are you fishing that tourist trap, with Nubble, the foreside, and the pool all beckoning a real striper man so near by?
Does the word begin with "G".

Re: Surfcasting Mistakes
Another one I have to add is missing a wind knot deep on the spool.
Lose one good plug and it better not happen again. If it does one should just kick themselves hard in the ass.

Re: Surfcasting Mistakes
Picture this. Going out for the first time with a New 10ft med heavy. Putting on the heaviest plug in the bag to really test it grabbing the line Like you would with your 8 fter and a small plug no glove either. Going into the back cast feeling the rod load up. Starting your forward cast and feeling fireline rip through your fingertips as the weight of a 4 oz popper loaded up tears about 2 inches off the drag. That is by far the biggest mistake I have made this year I can still feel it.

Re: Surfcasting Mistakes
That was last weekend. I am used to fishing sandy stuff and needed to pick up something heavier for the rocks. So I picked up something heavier and that is how I learned to really get a firm hold on the line When casting. I am used to throwing with 8 footers and large stuff but when that rod loaded it loaded and tore back.

For a 1/2 second I thought I was receiving kudos from an old salt, then ya drop the 'G' word on me? Damn u Gunny, if I weren't laughing right now, my feelings would be hurt..... . I spent many evenings (first mistake, not familiarizing myself with it during the day) @ The Pool, unfortunately I've been limited to the beach "next to the honey hole" 'cause I've yet to make myself a pair of korkers. I know, I know, I should just buy a pair, but $$ was tight this year and I STILL spent a boat load on fishing accessories (I'll say it for ya, that was my 2nd mistake). I got a couple/few haunts staked out and TRUST me, fishing in the tourist trap known as OOB will be minimal next year if at all. If you guys make a trip up north next year I can GUARENTEE that I won't be the "leftout kid" sitting at home. Well equipped with korkers, I'm gonna make Biddeford Pool my b**ch next year just as it made me a few times. Tight lines man, and a happy fall run to you all.

Jim: "jon are those waves getting bigger?"
Me: "Yes they are!!!??!!"
Jim: "I think its time to get out of here"
Me: "?!?!?!?!"
Jim had just gotten washed down the rock!!!!!!
This is after both of us slipped trying to get up the damn thing and ended up floating for a minute...I was waiting for the cold water to go down the back of my waders but thankfully I used the bottom of my rod to pop myself up....
Lesson: Jim is a surf casting mistake and you must be reckless with your life to fish with him!
