sea fishing

Saltwater catch pursuit

Sea fishing is fishing conducted in saltwater—oceans, seas, and coastal waters—as opposed to freshwater lakes and rivers.

It ranges from recreational angling off piers and boats to commercial operations with large vessels and nets.

We went sea fishing off the coast of Cornwall.
