I'm a beginner to saltwater fly fishing and I'm trying to figure out what fly line is best to start with; intermediate or floating line and which one is the best one to catch bass!?

Make sure to get a wf line and be sure the weight rating matches your rod. The wf lines are easier to cast than a dt as far as floating or sinking lines it all depends on the ground you fish as your the line will only allow you to cover different depths .

The new Guideline lines are great. Slow intermediate is a great saltwater line. A floater is all you need for estuary fishing, imo.
If you are using big flies in the open ocean, you'll need a wf line that has its weight towards the tip of the line, this will help turn over budgie sized flies.
Shooting heads are very versatile because you can pop a few in your pocket and you'll be prepared for anything.
