Well, you can make those smaller target species alot more fun to catch by simply down sizing your tackle. I do that even for the larger species.
Take the Atlantic Spade fish for instance. They average about 3 or 4 pounds, and can get in excess of 15 pounds. Doesn't sound like much does it? But I can promise, these little scrappers can snap 20 pound tackle like it's nothing. You can't always go by fish size, there are some smaller fish with big game balls. Spanish mackerel, sheephead, and even large black sea bass have incredible power. I also know that bonefish and snook are quite speedy and take incredible skill to target.
If you find yourself getting bored catching fish, down size your tackle until it becomes sporty and fun. You'd be surprised what a little light line can do.[cool]
