pretty much agree with john r except for fishing tidal rivers.standing in chest deep in river water fishing a rip during tidal flush for bass and blues to me is surf fishing.granted not on a sandy beach or rock pile,but not standing on shore fishing either.in some cases at the mouth of these rivers your on sand casting into the surf where river meets larger body of water.HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL.

Pretty close to what I'm asking, but I'm shooting for people's representation of what a "shore caught" fish would be. In other words, where is the line between a true shore catch and all others. I think Dad Fisherman already answered it best though. Surf casting and surf fishing are the same thing to me(shore fishing).
You need to hook, fight and land from terra firma.
