I have found it very hard to walk to Cuttyhunk and then just as hard to fish the shore once there so give me my boat to fish the surf. And Goose you bought a boat so you could fish surf 3-4 times a week??????? Fish the beach from the boat young man and catch ALL those easy to get big cows. You don't even need a rod just a net to scoop them up. Boat fishing the surf best of both worlds. Right CLAMMER
