Bottom fishing can be a little fun... but pulling fish off the bottom is like reeling in a bucket of water. Not a lot of fight to it, just a lot of pulling.
I like the fight of the pelagic fish... the back and forth of it. The initial run, the taking back some line, then the next run, etc... all the while wondering if the big mutha fugga is gonna break your line or spit the hook.
Salmon fishing up here is pretty good.... You can charter an ocean worthy vessel with a dozen guys or so and troll for them...
Not my cup of meat, but guys who like salmon really enjoy it...
Fair warning though, once you clean your own salmon you might not eat salmon anymore... If there's a species of fish more prone to parasitic worms, I'm not familiar with it...
