the ol' boat vs. surf again. as some have said already, trolling wire or lead core on a stick that doesn't bend and a reel and more line than you can think is hardly a challenge. learning where and how to effectively and consistently troll is another matter. but still, hardly a challenge. casting and retrieving your offering on a rod similar in comparison to what we throw in the surf, but slightly shorter is a little more close of a comparison. but, again, boats have radar, sonar, fish finders, etc. in the surf, you need to find the fish by experience and some luck. catching and especially landing the fish is always a higher challenge in the surf. as the saying goes, a surf caught bass is twice the fish than from a boat. i do both, and would take a surf caught fish as a higher accomplishment.
