Seaguar on the Water

One of the most incredible things about saltwater fishing is the variety of potential target species and the many different ways to catch them.

The striped bass has a strong case for being the official bass of the Northeast. These hard-fighting fish captivate anglers throughout the region anytime they are around, and there are many ways to catch them, from surf casting on the beach to jigging or trolling both inshore and offshore.

In the inshore world, some species get the bulk of the attention and are regarded as prized fish.

To wind down during the offseason, professional anglers spend plenty of time on the water with different approaches and target species.

While the salmon species get the bulk of the attention, the tasty halibut is another popular target.

The simple hunk of metal has been fooling predator fish into thinking it's their next meal for generations and still works well today.
