On the Pacific: Southern California:White Sea Bass, bass of many varieties, Sheepshead, Yellowtail, Sculpin, Barracuda and Halibut

In the Gulf of Mexico, wading out for Flounder gigging is common. Fishing from the beach or piers is good for Pompano, Red and Black Drum,Speckled Trout, Sheepshead and sometimes Snapper. There are many other fish caught, but they generally aren’t targeted species.

On the Atlantic side of Florida, Tarpon, Permit and Snook are popular

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.

Northern California and farther up to Alaska: Ling Cod, Halibut

Further up the Atlantic coast, Tilefish, Stripers, Makerel, Skate and Whiting.

Bear in mind, there are many other pelagic species that require a boat. This list is by no means complete. I’m sure others can add to it.
