Sea trout, though not true trout, are just as fun to catch and you use much the same gear... waders, fly rod and lure... with herons, bald eagles, osprey and dolphins to keep you company.
Our redfish, kingfish, bonefish, tripletail, gators, and largemouth bass aren’t too shabby, either. Now, it’s true that fighting an amberjack, shark, or jewfish and even small grouper, is usually done with a belt in a small boat and will make you wonder what happened to your shoulders the next day, while chairfishing is usually for marlin or swordfish and yeah, you’re pretty comfortable in a very nice boat, at least until the fish’s on.
