Ok, how is it you guys call fresh water fishing .......fishing? Sure if you get excited catching five or even ten pound bags of sugar and flour. If it doesn't have the potential to go between 35 to 300 lbs. what's the point. If you're going to bend a rod, then BEND a rod.
OK, now that I have your attention.......I will fish almost anything,,but Salt is my first love. I have waded the same area for a period of six years, twice a week, every week. Except when lightning is present. Not stupid. Caught every thing in that spot from pompano, to shark. jacks, Spanish Mackerel, flounder, reds, sheephead, puffers (mmmm fugu) Dog fish, My favorite trip of all time was tuna. Second favorite was Amberjack. Limit was three, but we kept catching and releasing till our arms were silly putty. Avg around 40 lbs. Caught a grouper that we never did see. Hauled the boat around a few hundred feet. My favorites are the ones that hit moving about 30 mph, hence the tuna and Aj's. Big Spanish Mackerel hit on the run. One sail. Never a Marlin or Tarpon. Would love to, but hasn't happened yet. I don't fish nearly as much as in the past, but will still manage a trip here and there. You know what the say.... All fishermen are liars except for you and me....and I'm not so sure about you.
