I love the surf. I don't think about anything else. Maybe that will change as I get older.

Both - each has its place ... love em both. Sometimes I use a boat to get to good surf fishing stuff ... so there are times when I use both in one trip ... The key is just to go fishing.

No way I could choose between the two. Sometimes I like to splash the boat and chase fish. Gives me a chance to fish the Elizabeth Islands, Middle Ground, the Back Side, Cape Cod Bay, the Race, etc.

But sometimes I like to hit the beaches, especially at night and fish eels or plugs on some quiet beach. There's nothing like hooking up on a nice 30 lber with your feet in the sand and rolling surf.

Both have their time and place.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Surf if more

I like surf better than boat. Altough I have owned a boat for most of my adult life I feel more connected to the ocean when I surf fish.

thats why they call it fishing not catching

I have something deep inside of me that draws me to the shoreline to fish at the waters edge, I don't know how to describe it but if I couldn't fish from shore I would have an empty feeling and i am not sure I could deal without surf fishing. Whether it's the canal or a backbay or the sandy beaches or some cobbled shoreline, I just love the challenge of fishing from shore, it just seems more peaceful and relaxing sometimes.
Now that I've said that, I love fishing from my little skiff at times also, it is just another way to put me on fish at times when the beaches are over run with mung,plovers or seals. I can enjoy both but I was born a surfcaster.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
