Barta also said that he loves blue water fishing the best, but, how hard is it to sit around on a big boat in relative comfort, for hours on end, while awaiting the challenge of pulling off a smoothly executed "bait and switch" for a billfish hookup? Barta, IMO, is a sage in this realm of our sport fishing avocation.

A lot can be viewed as difficult besides what some consider to be physically demanding. Striped bass are really not hard to catch once you have located them.Once they are on the line the odds are in your favor to land them. The same can not be said for other more formidable species.Be it on land or boat a well executed plan that results in an opportunity to get a tight line is very satisfying for some.In my opinion there can be much more work to fish bluewater if that is your choice.Sometimes it is more productive to fish smarter rather than harder.To each his own,no need to rank difficulty.
