reef fishing
Catching coral-dwellers oceanside
Reef fishing is angling done around coral or rocky reefs, where fish congregate for food and shelter.
The structure attracts species like snapper, grouper, and sea bass.
Reef fishing can be done from boats anchored near the reef or by drift fishing over it: We went reef fishing off the coast of Florida.
