You should be ashamed of yourself. No beach card this year and now I find out no fishing license? You invited me to the thread. Be careful what you wish for.

When we vacation we always plan a charter trip or two. Two years ago I caught my first Blue Marlin, after getting skunked two times in Hawaii( Kona and Maui)
Landed him in Cabo, man that place is a Marlin Mecca. Hooked an approximate 600 lber but it spit the slow trolled live bonito after about a 1/2 hr. Hooked the next about about an hour later fast trolling lures. It was a 250 pounder.
Can’t wait to get back to that place. Need my scratch a rooster fish off my list and another Blue Marlin while I’m at it.

The next best thing to having a boat is having a friend with a boat.
I did a lot of fishing in the Great South Bay when we had a boat in Lindenhurst, and off Sandy Hook in NJ. Although I don't like eating them, I think Blues are the most fun to catch up here, they give you a run for your money. Reeling in the fluke and flounder are like pulling up a wet rag. The strippers are fun. And the sea bass are good eating. I once pulled up a sea robin. I was horrified, I thought I found a prehistoric monster lurking at the bottom of the sea. I had freakin nightmares.
I like fishing in FL because you never know what you're going to reel in. Dolphin, all different kinds of grouper, and snapper. Those grouper are a pain in the ass when they pull you into the rocks and hide.
I haven't been out in years.
