Angling success depends on how well an angler understands:

• Fish Behavior
• Forage Behavior
• seasonal Influences
• Structure
• Water Dynamics
• Terminal Tackle and how it affects Lures and Live bait presentations

Lets take another look at the boat anglers for a moment. The obvious reason for boat anglers success rates hasn't eluded me. Mobility is their main ace in the hole. The boat anglers take advantage of their mobility in ways that shore fishermen can't. They can, through this mobility , utilize presentation methods that enhance their catch rate. Trolling, slipping, anchoring or drifting are just some of the methods they can employ. Position is mobility in its most precise sense. It is also paramount to their success.

Its therefore no different for the shore angler, although the options for shore fishermen are fewer. Unless there is current present, drifting over an area can only be accomplished through wind aided slip float presentations.

Precision casting, be it with bait or artificial lure, is critical. Varying retrieve methods are also a must have for the shore angler. One thing I have learned over the years form fishing on shore is that versatility is, always has been and always will be, paramount to an anglers success.
