On vacation. First saltwater fish are pin fish and bluefish. My dad and I rented rods from the pier. I caught about 30 pin fish, and 2 bluefish. My dad had a hard time hooking and keeping the fish hooked and he only caught 4 pin fish and a bluefish. I caught multiple two fish at the same time. And I even caught three pinfish once.
