boat fishing

Catching fish offshore

Boat fishing is fishing done from a boat rather than from shore, a pier, or while wading.

The term distinguishes the activity from bank fishing or surf fishing: We're going boat fishing this weekend.

It encompasses everything from small rowboats on lakes to deep-sea charter vessels.
