People are making excuses as to why they sit down and fish?
If the circumstances call for it (fishing out of a canoe) then sure... But who in their right mind would sit in a boat with a perfectly good casting deck? Hell, I stand in anything, even 12ft tinnys if I can...
I can make longer casts, have better control over where/when my bait lands and have a much better view of the cover I am fishing...
Also running the Minn Kota while standing isn't very hard
