It's all fishing....
I cut my serious teeth in the surf, on rocks actually up here. Got totally into it. Studied it, studied threads, posts, did search to learn more, then went out to apply it myself. Was very good therapy to help me get through a divorce...
Got a boat this year. Still hit the surf, twice this week. so far. Boat once, 0400 this AM. But it's been ten years since I've had a boat, either power or sail, so has been a goal of mine to return to. Makes me happy, and I don't regret it.
As for the boat vs surf stuff....I don't get it. I am not so corinthian to think that a guy who has only ever boatfished hasn't earned his stripes....he just did it differently than me. Hell, I got a 100 ton ticket that I don't use. It's just that my roots were on boats. But I've spent much more fishing time in the surf.
DZ, I have a great deal of respect for the type of fishing you do, and the history of surf. There is just so much of the sport developed there. I just don't buy into the surf only school. As was stated in another thread, a surfcaster in a boat can be deadly.
