Duke...please! I answered that both have their challenges....catching fish is what we are talking about am I correct? If you are going to lean on all your electronics to find your fish then there really is no skill there in my opinion! Surf guys, at least myself and the folks I know do not rely on electronics....they find them the good old fashioned challenging way.....by working an area, spending time there and learning to read the water and conditions! So in terms of the way you replied to your own thread I must change my answer and say it is more of a challenge from the shore! I know electronics are a part of boat fishing and that there are alot of challenges to fishing from a boat.....but you did not mention any of those physical challenges or the challenges of spending time on the water and maybe keeping a log and learning your spots.....your entire argument was based on the use of your electronics. That doesn't seem like a challenge to me at all.
Before any of you fire away...read my post again...I give respect to those boat fishermen who use their electronics along with their boating skills, knowledge of the water and seasonal changes along with tidal changes.....all difficult stuff to master.....electronics ain't that difficult!
