Just curious as to how many salt anglers are here and their primary saltwater angling areas of preference. I see a bunch of posts from Fl, some from the west coast, and a few from the east coast.
I am a Mid Atlantic inshore and offshore fly angler mostly though my favorite fish is the Tarpon.
How about the rest of you?
I"ll fish for anything, but so far my only experience has been the Gulf Coast of Florida in the spring and summer when I’m lucky enough to get down there.
So far my favorite domestic spot is out of Venice, Florida. I’ve also fished Texas, Mexico, South Africa, and California.

I fish here in Miami/Homestead in Biscayne Bay…I dont stray at all in salt…dont even go to the Keys which is about 1hr…never fished Flamingo which is about the same…I have love for all flats species especially huge ones…on the flats I know what pecking order I cast to so I would have to say PERMIT gets my vote but really like bull reds on lite tippet and also trophy bonefish

To those who did reply I thank you for your participation in this thread. I can see why the majority of conversation relate to Florida fly fishing here.
Thanks again

Been out of town…
Eastern Connecticut to Cape Cod. …30+ years
I fish inshore and near shore around the Venice, FL area during the late fall and winter. The beauty of this area is the variety of fish you can target…
I fish the SoCal beaches, mostly Zuma (Malibu) Beach. I’m really new to fishing the suds and I haven’t caught much but it is sure a challenging and fun game, I went last Sunday and saw two seals and a dolphin. I’ve seen people catching surf perch and corbinas. Not sure if you can catch leopard and sand Shovel Nose Guitarfish on the fly but I’m sure it’s tons of fun.
My favorite saltwater fishing has been for false albacore at Cape Lookout; taken a few trips to Florida, caught some fish and had fun, but the alberts will always be my #1 choice in the salt (unless I manage a trip to Baja some day!!).

I fish the RI and Mass. coast, mostly RI though with the fly. I find the challenge more fun than just throwing out a piece of wood in search of the elusive “ole pajamas”. rel1
Striped Bass, Bluefish and Summer Flounder in the Long Island NY area…with the north shore of LI being my favorite
Sarasota, FL in winter. (Colo in summer). Sarasota, Terra Cieia Bays; Manatee, Braden Rivers.
Moved to NE Florida (Fernandina Beach) about a year ago and starting to get back fishing again - learning saltwater since I’m surrounded by it. Mainly Redfish and Trout but hope to fish for Pompano on the beach when the water warms up.

A bit late responding but I’m new to saltwater fishing. I’ll be going for bonefish in Cozumel starting March 30 returning April 14. On my return I plan to spend time on the Eastern Shore and the Chesapeake bay learning my way around. If I have anything to report, as I learn, I won’t be shy.

NC Coastal waters mostly around South Port area, Favorite is Fat Alberts.
NC coast primarily but make at least an annual trip to the Keys and southeast coast of Florida. Favorite at home are the albies with drum a close second. Overall favorite is probably snook in the mangroves.
Hey Eddie!
West Central Florida. I’m fishing mainly from Sarasota to the south to Port Richey to the north but will drive anywhere in Florida if given enough time. 
Love the Rhody salt for Mister Stripedy BAss
