I love fishing the Surf and probably spend about 90% of the time of the surf and maybe 10% off the boat. I find that off the boat is much easier, especially if you have good electronics and are knowledgable. Not everyone that owns a boat knows what they are doing, especially those that fish entirely during the day chasing birds and running through schools of fish feeding on the surface. How about those boaters that follow the charter captains and cast into them. Most of the challenge is being able to find you're own fish. Another thing I take into consideration is, IT is much easier to land a big fish when you are reeling straight up from 8-60ft or so towards the boat. Now I am not saying that everyone that fishes the surf know what they are doing either, they dont. It is much more difficult to land a fish off the surf than it is off of a boat, without a doubt, to me it is much greater of a challenge. You have to remember that off the surf you cannot rely on good electronics that can tell you that you are on top of a school of big fish either.
