Jigging for big flounder on ocean shipwrecks/structure in deep water. 70-110 ft. Fairly light tackle, Daiwa Lexa 300 on a Tsunami MH jigging rod. 30 lb braid. 3-6 oz bucktails, depending on current. Drifting, bouncing the jig over the bottom until you feel him grab it. Set the hook and hold on, head shakes galore. Man that’s fun!
Also catching Mahi on pot gear with light tackle is fun. 15-20 miles off the coast. Stick baits, topwater, or chunks on a bare hook. Get some gaffers doing this too, but mostly 5-10 lb mahi.
Chunking for tuna, casting for speckled trout with artificials, redfish on spinnerbaits. Striped bass/rockfish. These coastal bays and inshore ocean have a lot to offer to the avid angler!
Going tomorrow for Mahi, I’ll post pics.

I really enjoy bass fishing in the summer where there’s chance of fish over 6lbs. Once things freeze, perch and walleye are tough to beat

Fishing is for the weak-minded and otherwise feeble. I go catching. But then again, there is a fine line between fishing, and standing on the river bank like an idiot. (Normally I would take the time to apologize, with all due respect, to the idiots, weak-minded, and otherwise feeble, but they won't know either way. (The feeble might, so, I hereby offer my apologies to the otherwise feeble.)

Mine is small stream trout fishing with lures or flies followed by bass fishing. The "step across streams" frustrate me a litle - - But i love fishing for brookies in the high lakes of the wallowas.

Fishing for big Lake sturgeon in the James Bay watershed rivers. No other freshwater fish fights like a sturgeon.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
