offshore fishing
Ocean boat angling
Offshore fishing is recreational or commercial fishing conducted in deep waters far from shore, typically several miles out where the continental shelf drops off.
Unlike inshore fishing in bays and shallow coastal waters, offshore fishing targets large pelagic species like tuna, marlin, mahi-mahi, and swordfish.
It usually requires seaworthy boats, specialized heavy tackle, and often involves trolling or deep-dropping techniques.
We chartered a boat for offshore fishing and caught a 200-pound yellowfin.
