inshore fishing
Coastal waters catch
Inshore fishing is fishing done in shallow coastal waters, typically within a few miles of shore—in bays, estuaries, lagoons, and along beaches.
It contrasts with offshore or deep-sea fishing, which targets larger species in open water.
Inshore fishing usually involves smaller boats and targets species like redfish, snook, and flounder: We hired a guide for some inshore fishing in the flats.
