saltwater fishing

Marine sport fishing

Saltwater fishing is angling done in ocean waters, coastal areas, bays, and tidal estuaries, as distinguished from freshwater fishing in lakes, rivers, and streams.

It typically targets marine species like tuna, marlin, snapper, and bass, and ranges from surf casting on beaches to deep-sea expeditions far offshore.

Saltwater fishing generally requires heavier, corrosion-resistant tackle to handle both larger fish and the harsh marine environment.
