I used to spend hours fishing, mostly saltwater, surf and inshore in Long Island Sound. Dont get to go as much any more. I second the suggestion about bluefish. Get one about ten pounds or more on a freshwater bass rod and you got something. Just keep your fingers away from its mouth when you land it. Those teeth are a lot like cutting pliers, lol. They can cut a eight inch long baitfish in half with one shot.
Surf fishing is incredible, especially if you can get out during weeknights to spots that are not tha accessible (most good surf fishing is done from dusk until dawn, at least in the Northeast). Its just you out there, all night long, casting, a lot of the time you cant even see where the lure is going. You work it entirely by how it feels. You make hundreds of casts. Then, boom, your on. What have you got? Could be anything from a bluefish, stirper, weakfish, fluke, to a small shark. Even bonito at the right time of year.
