What fish would you focus on???
Mine would be large snook. OF course I would have to move to do it.

Well, since I live in VT most of the time I can't fish for stripers, so days I fish for pike in the river near me and nights Big browns in other rivers.

I didn't know that.How much bigger are saltwater run white perch?

I think I can relate.The White Bass spawning run I used to fish in TX was a blast.Some of these fish could get 5-6lbs,a true trophy.Mini stripers basically.And delicious to boot.

Clammer

they don,t get that big // but they have some of the instinks of the bass // they will attack //
they hit , lues, plugs, bait . etc ;-- but they are at times unpretictabe & the will just shut right off ;;

When I was a kid i was selling to a local [small] fish store / It was located in a shopping center /mostly patronized by blacks // matter of fact the owners where black & white // just 2.5 miles away was the older but well off sections of the Jewish people ...........

they both loved the W/P & it was something to watch them rub elbows for the same fish // for that time it was a pleasant thing to see .,.,., :lm:

sorry clammer, i love those things. great fight, lots of visuals, and a bad attitude.

to add in - the best fish I ever caught were barracuda, all the same qualities above, just X 50
If they were in the northeast, thats all I'd fish for
