    Default Inshore/Offshore fishing

    I frequently read and hear about inshore fishing and offshore fishing, where is the line drawn? Is there a certain point so many miles off the shore line that fishing inshore changes to offshore fishing?

    It’s not the distance as much as the targeted species. Generally speaking, when fishing “offshore” you’re targeting Pelagics

    If I can see land, I'm inshore. If I can't, I'm offshore.
