deep-sea fishing

Pelagic sport pursuit

Deep-sea fishing is recreational or commercial fishing in open ocean waters, typically miles offshore where the water is deep enough to harbor large game fish like marlin, tuna, and swordfish.

It usually requires a specialized boat and heavy tackle: We chartered a boat for deep-sea fishing in the Gulf.
