I picked bluefish. In the 1980's there were long stretches of time where not a decent size bass was to be found. People caught bluefish while pretending to be fishing for stripers, but they didn't give up fishing as the methods for each can be very similar whether from boat or beach. You still have the same hobby, it's more a matter of landing more of one type fish than the other. The abundance of bluefish also gives you something to complain about which is an important part of most people's fishing.
When I worked as a fish packer for one summer, some of the regular afternoon customers were four charter boats that would offload the catch of the day from Nantucket shoals. Early June was the bass month but during July and August it was all bluefish.
