some of you may look at my choices and say why but its species that may not be very desirable for most but i have never caught them before like the pike minnow, mackerel and dogfish. its mainly for curiosity for even non game species.
Top 5 salt is all tuna, awesome! I have a great article from last year on catching Albacore by fly from shore off the USA East / South East shoreline. Could you imagine...
Apparently the come into shore chasing bait. They say the big difference is that you are catching them in shallow water and the only have one way to run - horizontal! That fight would be unbelievable.

A person could do it yourself and pretty cheap. Just set the expectations on the first trip to learn and maybe the 2nd trip...
