I guess I need to see your definition of 'sport fishing'.

You're not likely to be convinced but on the east coast it is commonly
meant to be "deep sea fishing", or going out off the continental shelf
to the "canyons". It takes a decent boat to go out there and back in
the windy conditions which frequently prevail.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I believe you. I just did not know what you East Coast snobs were referring
to.

I actually live on the west coast, the west coast of Florida that is,
a few short miles from the Gulf. There are lots of sportfishing boats
on the Gulf of course but it's different. The best fishing is in or
near the Gulf Stream, there's no getting away from it. The boat 2
slips down from us came in with 7 tuna this afternoon. You don't get
that too many other places.
