I love stalking fishfrom the bank.
Did it for 15+ years before I ever tried the boat thing, or shooting at night.
It's low tech, inexpensive, and simple.

The only thing that keeps me from doing more of it is a lack of available shoreline. Most around here is in city limits where there are laws against shooting a bow, or private land where the owners are sick of everybody and their brother asking for permission to hunt/fish on their land.

Still there are a few good spots, and it's a great way to get out when you don't have much time.
