Boat vs. Beach fishing

[mosholu]

I do both but I am much more excited catching a fish from the surf on a lure than a catch made when jigging or drifting on the boat.

I believe it was the late great George Carlezon who told me the beach saying was "I'd rather my sister in a whorehouse than a friend in a boat".

To live on The New England coast and take advantage of all the finer things in Striper Fishing you need two legs, a 4 wheel drive with beach permits and a boat of suitable size to fit your need.

I was blessed with two long legs that are still in good shape, I have a great little buggy for the beach and a 37 year old skiff that sees more bass come over it's rail than most any boat of similar size on the coast.

I love to surfcast, it's my most favorite method to take Striped Bass but I am not a fool and would never limit myself to one methodology over another and go fishless for the effort while just offshore there are countless bass for the taking.

Ironicly I was just looking at the Sandy Neck regs. and we can still trailer a boat out on the beach.I figured with all the other b/s thats happened there over the years that that would have been killed years ago.Personally da beach is the way but access is going to be the driving force on which will be used this year the "16 tin or the yak" will get their share.Waders will still be the "uniform of the day".
