What type of saltwater sport-fish are popular in Europe?

Question

I know nothing about European sportfishing or fish. Do you have Drum, Saltwater Trout, Flounder? I know there are great Trout & Salmon fishing in Europe, but what about your "inshore saltwater" fishing? What species of fish are abundant, and how do you catch/pursue them?

Answer 1

In Europe, the flounder like fish is sole. It could be caught in the English Channel. Also a fish called bar in French is popular and they also have scup (porgy) like fish. In the Mediterranean, tuna fishing is popular.
