i wouldn't say its that difficult from shore hooked 6 on the upper today and landed 3 summers and if u think about how much more effort u had to go through to get your boat to the river and the cost, how effective is it really to run a sled on a river with trails up and down
PS. compared to taking the driftboat out or even getting the Striper to the Saltwater the jet is extremly easy. No shuttle cars to worry about, no sore back from rowing, no huge fuel bill as we are only running a small 4 stroke ( it aint no 225 LOL ) .....man it couldn't be easier. Really
Again, it isn't better, it's just differant.
