We were on the beach yesterday. I;d say about 50/50. My favorite beaches are accessable by the public but also a long walk. And i have friends that live conviently on those beaches to i can access spots without the long walk.
A boat is a much more effective way to fish cuts. 1) because of how much ground you can cover and 2) because of how close to the shore those cuts like to sit. I caught one off my boot laces yesterday. Its a lot easier from a boat. And in my situation using the boat can be a ton easier than dealing with driving anywhere.
