Boat fish count... just not as much.
I fished from a boat all my life (until this year). We'd jig for bass at Middleground and Tom's Shoal in the spring, in the summer we'd anchor off P*** Island (great spot) and toss chunks of pogies into the current, and in the fall, fish tube and worms off Gayhead.
Rarely did I ever get off my boat skunked.
This year (from shore), I've been skunked more times than I care to share... the funny thing is that I've never enjoyed fishing more.
IMO the "not knowing if I'll catch a fish" makes the fishing more exciting and the fish more rewarding.
