Thanks all! His birthday is in two months. Historically, he loves trout fishing but also enjoys the salt. He came out on a party boat special trip with me last year and he absolutely crushed the bonito on an epoxy jig.
there's almost too many options

I'm overwhelmed! He would be happy catching almost anything, which makes it even harder! I think ideally it'd be late spring early summer, since the fall is going to be a bit hectic with the wedding.
