Boat Or Bank ?

[Huckfinn]

I dont know about all the fisherman on this site but I fell like Im a better fisherman from the bank versus on a boat! Im big on getting out deep and lureing them into the bank and getting a hit versus starting out on the bank and bringing them out to deeper water and then getting him to bite... Tell me if Im wrong. But I think if you start out from the bank and a game fish see's it what ever you got to offer and keep teaseing him in closer and closer and then he has no choose but to hit the bait because in his mind he thinks it mite get away into the rocks or trees. Im just shotin from the hip on this but I've fished on a boat and I just dont catch as many fish as I do on the Bank. I will admit that I have fished from the bank way more than a boat. Just have'nt been on a boat that much. anybody else feel the same way ? Huck

I'm kinda right there with you Huck. I've caught a lot of fish, especially bass with topwaters and plastic worms from the bank. I think that they see the presentation out of the boat as something just coming into the water from the bank and want to hit it before other fish do. You can probably make an argument that one is better than the other, but I think it just comes down to personal preference. I can usually catch fish from either, but I just have more options from a boat.

I hear that I need a boat but that will be a little while for me. Money... It needs to grow on more trees. Ive been bank fishing everytime this year and last year went on a boat everytime and this year alot more fish in the freezer than last year. But Im going when I want to go and not waiting on that buddie with a boat!! That makes a big diffence too.
