I agree with Flap here...its all fishing...While I agree with John Somewhat....none of those electronics help you at night casting a shoreline, especially the guys who do it old school in tin boats...About all there good for is depth and finding your way back. The main advantage is mobility and the ability to move fast from place to place..But again, its all the same its fishing not much more to it than that
Bill - I agree, but most people in a boat aren't fishing a rocky shoreline or rip at night. Fishing that way or anchoring in the violent reef born seas off Watch Hill at night are more the extreme than the average - same as guys skishing or simming to far off rocks from the coast - these are the extremes...
And yes, it is all fishing and IMO it all counts (though weighted a bit in favor of the surfcaster )
I fish from a boat 'cause I'm old and feeble. You don't have to walk too far on a 21-footer and I've noticed very few swivel seats or leaning posts along the shore. That said, however, I guess it's like Sly said "different strokes for different folks, and so on and so on and scuby dube dube........................................."

Bless you my son..no truer worrds spoken then these written above.
no one these days uses gps an cell phones on a beach
seems to be boat guys verse shore guys 0-well!always has been, always will be.....but there are those that do both well...there stands a true fisherman[person] with skills that will beat either group .

I see you haven't fished with the Clammer much. That is most definitely more challenging than any other type of fishing.
