From shore or boat, sometimes you have to be flexible and be willing to try something different. A boat affords you more mobility to find fish, but it still takes skill (and luck) to catch them. I've been out when there were a bunch of boats (including commercial guys) wire-lining and no one was getting anything. A guy 50 yards away up on shore was throwing plugs in broad daylight and was cleaning up with big fish. I threw on a popper and bam, on with a big keeper. I was marking fish on the bottom in deep water, but they would only hit up on top. If the guy on shore wasn't there, I'm pretty sure I would have gone home empty handed.
