I think casting distance from shore is much more important during the day than at night. As someone who fishes from a boat as well, I have frequently seen that fish will be only at certain depths (which often equates to certain distances from shore). Maybe they're at 30-40 feet (which could be 150+ yards from shore) and you won't see a single fish at 25 feet or shallower. During the day, the fish tend to prefer deeper water (thus longer casts required).

At night it's a completely different story. My shore experience is that the fish are much closer to the shore and less spooky at night. Also, if there's some good wave action and moving water the fish will, literally, be right at your feet (as in the first break from the beach).

My 2 cents.

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.
