Then once your on site then it tides, currents, bait etc just like a shore guy. Alright who's with me?
Just to put in a different angle of thought here. Everything you list prior to once your on site is about Boating not Fishing. The poll should then read "Does it take more skill to drive your car to a spot or take your boat to a spot"

I think both have there different Skill sets and Different skill levels when it comes to fishing.

If you took a guy that boat fished his entire life, brought him out to the beach and then said "Now Catch Something" he would struggle just as much as taking a lifelong surfguy and putting him in a boat and saying the same thing to him.

"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
