Either your spoiled (like me) and would rather catch nice big fish than things that look like striper bait.
OR....again like me, your time is limited. I rather hop in the boat and be fishing within 30 minutes of leaving my driveway when I have the time, then spending hours getting to some pond and fishing with 8 lb line.
------------
You hardly ever see a picture of a guy holding up 10 trout.
But see plenty of a guy holding up one moby bass.
Still both are fun and a good excuse to get out of the house.
I used to do it all.... smelting, ice fishing, trout, LMB/SMB you name it. |

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Some more cons from the freshwater side; jet skis, bass tournaments, water skiers, crowded ramps making getting out a nightmare (Plymouth harbor on a weekend is similar), summer doldrums, lawn mowers, residents giving you #^&#^&#^&#^& for fishing around their docks, no sea breeze, no salt air, no really good eaters like fluke, sea bass tatog and yes stripers.

Deffinate +1 on the jet skis and water skiers always running you over. Ive invested heavily next year in a slip that is 8 mins from prime fishing grounds,short run to Block Island,and even shorter to Montauk. I should trim close to half my travel time off by not hauling the boat everytime.

Sorry to highjack here, but there's a special place in hell for the nitwits that made that ramp but provided no simple access to the dock 
Back on topic -
Freshwater fishing is a blast, and if you're near a cranberry bog, I assure you there are bass awaiting in it's feeder pond with little to no crowds. and if you get a live froggy, topwater hits are great, fresh or salt. |

Pretty much what it is for me. I take my son down to a Drainage end of a local lake and he can pop off some sunfish. After the third or fourth he usually asks me when we are going on the boat to catch some real fish? And he is only 5 so pretty sure the salt is in him alredy. |
