By my gps my avg nite of fishing is about 3 miles or so.
Lots of times with the truck you drive right by pods of fish becuase you have a predetermined place you're heading to. When you're on foot it can be advantageous as you comb every inch of the beach as you make your way along.
One time on the back there was a good pick of fish going and it fizzled out. A conga line of trucks exited the beach as if they were being led by the pied piper...anyways I had walked in quite a distance from the HOTM parking lot up to high head and I ran into a school of monsters on the way back without another soul in sight.
Having the trucks out there is very efficient no doubt, but the guys willing to walk will pull the better numbers many nights.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
