Saltwater Fishing

The salt eats away your gear, the tides battle against you, and the fishing is as unpredictable as the weather, but saltwater fishing has a special pull on anglers on every coast around the world. Some anglers like to steer their boat along a depth line, watching their rod tips sticking out the side of their boats connected to stringers, waiting to nail a giant on the troll. Others like to wade the skinny water, straining their eyes and stretching their casts across a flat to cruising striper, bonefish, permit, tarpon, redfish, giant trevally, and more, hoping for an epic eat.
