Doesnt really bother me if you cross water to do land based fishing but does using a kayak/boat to get to an otherwise inaccessible spot make you a champion fisherman or just give you an unequal advantage? Surely if your a confident, quality surfcaster you'd be keen to show your skills by bettering the rest on the same playing feild. Thats the true mark of a champion isnt it? If your good enough you wont need water craft to show your the best.
