I've spent many hours and walked many milesbustin' brush and bank fishing and it can wear a fellow out. I've twisted ankles, ruined shoes, drained canteens dryand found myself wishing that I'd just died as a baby while treating poison ivy... fought nations of fire ants too.
I've gotten waybigger counts from a boat, and this with a cooler full of cold drinks and sandwiches within easy reach the whole time... not to mention the heavenly sensation of shooting fish while barefooted!
Boats rule!

P.S. You were asking about tips? If you don't already have them, rig a couple of shooting platforms to get more elevation. Mine are just plywood secured across the bow of a johnboat in a coupla' places and covered with outdoor carpet.
Those extra few inches of elevation can make for more effective shooting when you decide to 'unleash-the-fury'.
