Boy, this has really had me thinking since John posted it. Being optimistically realistic, I'd like to think one day I could say I had caught a keeper of no specific species from the shore of every state bordering the Atlantic from Florida to Maine. Focusing a little more locally, I'd like to say I landed bragging sized bass along the NJ Shore at Island Beach, Ocean City, Brigantine, and Sandy Hook, also some spots on L.I. I had the opportunity to when I lived there, but never took advantage, namely Montauk, Orient Point, Shinnecock and Sunken Meadow. There's probably spots in RI and CT I'd regret missing, but I'd head up to Cape Cod and try to catch something from the shore of all 15 towns, and those that border two bodies of water, catch something from both. Now that covers what I'd like to do before I die. I also would like to catch those species I have not been able to before and are on my ToDo List like blue fin, weakfish (squeat), kingfish, pollack, wolffish, wahoo, redfish, and spanish mackeral to name a few.
