Eight Thumbs and others that answered my question:
That's one reason I like the salt so much. The other reason is that I fish a relatively unfished spot on Jamaica Bay in Brooklyn, NY with my son-in-law. It's quiet and relaxing, but I can watch jumbo jets overhead getting ready to land at JFK airport, tons of traffic on the Belt Parkway, and see the Verzanno Narrows bridge in the distance. A little different than fishing in the Rockies or Canada, but it does it for me.
Thanks a bunch for all the advice.
