I miss the southerly fishing and following the fish in general. But that's me just remembering the good. One of the most boring things to me was flying kites all day. Chunking or trolling some days is not so fun either. The long run offshore from south jersey can suck sometimes. 55 miles from here to offshore and you may need to to run double that to see a frigate bird, 55 miles from pompano and I'm clearing customs in the Bahamas. The guys in a lot of locales laugh at how long most of us spend running to fish, someone buy me a place in Kona and a 37' Merritt.

truth is,in our area,we have some world class offshore fishing-big bluefin like we get around here-not available in florida-just a few short weeks ago,there was an epic white marlin bite.
last season we never had a bluefin under 60"-we had a day when we used an entire spool of 60lb floro-that's how many fish we caught...all that action was within 40nm of cape may inlet...
on the west coast,those guys would cut their arms off to have the run to the tuna fish we have...
