i'll do both

but with SURF casting .........

since i don't presently own or can afford a new pair of waders and some other items like a dry top for example...
it's more economical and practical for me to be a guest on a friend's boat for the time being.
and
because of my darned ankle i normally have to sit... eventually, but if i'm out in the water with waders on *thats totally different) then i can stand for longer periods because i can make use (of the freedom) of the buoyancy factor of the water -> thus reducing my "weight-bearing" weight by almost half.

that being said...

with shore fishing there's something magical
or spiritual about being one with the waves and the sea standing at it's edge.

your feeling the rush of the surf and at the same time the shore line in itself, "is" the structure fish are holding to. There's plenty of bait and usually you'll have allot of great company.

with boat fishing....there's a little sense of adventure to it and that's because of the mystery of going out into much deeper waters. (for me anyway)

you can travel to many spots and Then there's the rush
of the moving fast at full throttle, but Once you get out there
and shut off the motor to drift theres a sense of peace,tranquility and purity
..........in that.....being so far from shore. the silence is cool.

Then you'll drift to find the structure the fish are holding to.

I love it all
and i memorize every second of it! being that trips are far and few between. for me......
