I do a fair amount of both boat and surf fishing, and I feel both have their advantage and place. During July and August when the picking off the beach is spotty at best, it's great to be able to get to the deeper water in search of cows. In this case boat fishing is FAR more enjoyable than surfcasting. However, in May and October when cows can be at your feet on the beach, surfcasting is FAR more enjoyable than the boat. Now, if you combine the two....
Also, I feel that there are two types of boat fisherman: those that cast plugs and fish pole in hand, and those that troll. Now, I'm aware of the productive value of the tube-n-worm, but that's just a boat ride to me. I would put the boat fisherman that have pole in hand on par with surf guys, but the troller is a wholly different beast.
