I think I'd give up beer first.

I have a limited time to fish since I currently live on the other side of the pond but I would never trade shore fishing for fishing from a boat even if you would guarantee me double the fish. There is something that is magical about catching a fish from the surf that you can not match in a boat. Whether it is a keeper at night or a fish at dawn or during the day that you see hit your plug it is so much more exciting than drifting eels or bucktailing the race (even though that is fun). When I talk to people that do not fish and want to know about why so much of my holiday revolves around fishing I almost never mention boat trips it is watching the sun break over your back after a long night casting or the simple pleasure of being the only person in the water fishing and the contrast from your normal existence.

With the price of gas right now and in the future, no way besides i'm 5 minutes from the water.

Oh and I have a kayak.

I like fishing from shore. Got invited out to fish on a boat with friends last year.
The time spent meeting up at the ramp, loading the boat, launching, cruising out to sow and pigs, anchoring, setting up etc. to fish for two hours, then the bone jarring ride back, and kicking in money for fuel and bait.
I was thinking, I missed fishing from shore for this? Could have caught my fish from shore before we even got the boat out of the harbor.

Then what would you drink after fishing?
