I think a fifty either way are on the same plane as far that is concerned although it took me many years to reach that conclusion and cast away prejudices of one fishing method over another. Where I cast the island shores I do not rely on electronics, actually more on things I gained from shore fishing. Things like moving water, structure etc.

well said and i agree. What i had in mind about boatfishing is trolling around a wireline and a parachute jig with a fishfinder on and seeing the fish on the screen before they bite- There are many levels of each field- You could stand on the tip of a saltpond jetty and chum up a 50, or you could farm the holes along the beach throwing needles. its all apples and oranges.
clammer- you surf cast from your boat- those fish count
