I figure if I can get the bait where I want it 50% of the time then I am doing good.

If you don’t practice in the yard you can’t compare lol. All seriousness though I never practice anything in the yard. I just go out and fish. Probably an unpopular opinion. I get most my casts, pitches and flips where I need them.

I pitch, rather than flip. I can tell you that I personally find it much more difficult to practice pitching in the yard rather than on my boat because I'm so used to being at that specific height above the water as I've done it so much. Put me on flat ground and I lose some skill. Perhaps your issue is the opposite and you just need practice from the height of your boat.

Came here to say the same thing. You need to be standing on box or something to imitate being in a boat.
