I've never taken the boat vs surf comments seriously here. I was lucky enough to acquire my uncle's 65 whaler late last season. I like both types of fishing but still also prefer surf for several reasons. This season has been below average for larger fish regardless of method I employ (could be me) although I will say I've landed many more in a boat. The ease to be able to cover more ground in a quicker fashion is a huge plus. I've even learned a few methods on the boat that I could employ in the surf and vice versa.. To me, as long as I'm enjoying myself and learning something new, I'm a happy man.
