I gave up salt until the early 90's (just didn't care that much).
Stayed in the fresh, and when I did go back to the salt it was basically a bait soaker experience. by the mid 90's I changed over to artificials entirely. I have gotten more than my share of decent shore-bound catches (which is why I like to "pay it forward" with younger anglers just starting out).
I am starting to head back to fresh more now as the fisheries are in desparate need of repair.
