Florida. No contest. Not only the best saltwater, but also some of the best bass fishing, the only state with Peacock Bass or Snook*, and you can comfortably fish 365 days a year. In a different spot every single day without repeating.

Not getting any trout fishing in though. I would give Florida the best salt though for sure.

It's better to fish salt all year at home and use vacation time for the occasional trout trip rather than the other way around. Hard to be successful if you only spend a few days a year fishing salt, but much easier to be successful chasing trout for a few days since they're way more consistent.

Yes salt is a game that I always feel lost in because I don’t get much time. I wouldn’t call trout consistent but in some places out west they are fairly easy.
I think it’s harder to find the fish in salt but often easier to catch them once u know where they are.

Wisconsin. Insane amount of public water access and not nearly the pressure as Pennsylvania.

Shh don't tell em! Wisconsin is sneaky answer here for sure in my opinion. You pretty much have it all:
Great trout fishing in the Driftless
Musky fishing up north, pike all over as well
Smallie fishing all over
Great carp fishing in Door County
Great Lakes "steelhead" and brown trout runs
Can't think of another state that offers as much freshwater variety off the top of my head.

Old pictures here from Montana.
This is a lake a couple of miles from where our daughter lives. I wish that she lived on the lake
Rainbows were breaking the surface going after bugs.
I got these on gulp bait. Around 12" or so. Nice and plump.
