Now that Sinestra's jumped in, I'll have to join in as well (Gary, is your favorite fish really the croaker?)...
I love bottom fishing, and a very good fisherman once told me that if you can catch blackfish, you can catch any bottom fish. It's taken me twenty years, but I'm starting to understand what he meant.
Tog are challenging, for all the reasons that Leprechaun mentioned and that is why they are my favorite. Flounder are what I grew up on, and still have a special place in my heart. The fun of catching them is made greater knowing how good they'll be for dinner. Makos are a great reason to go offshore, and if you've experienced one of their lightning fast runs culminating in a 6 foot head over tail aerial display, you can appreaciate the argument that they are one of the greatest game fish in the ocean. I guess I'm kind of all over the place here, talking flatties in one sentence and sharks in the next, but that is why I love to fish on Long Island.
