Inshore
The world’s oceans are full of game fish, and many tales have been told about days at sea hunting the biggest of them in the deepest waters. You don’t have to endure treacherous seas to land some of the planet’s most prestigious game fish, though. In fact, you can hook into them without losing sight of land! Inshore fishing is all about battling hard-fighting fish in shallow water, and you hardly need to be a seasoned sailor to enjoy the experience.
What is Inshore Fishing?
There’s no concrete definition of “inshore fishing,” since this can have a different meaning depending on where you fish in the world. By and large, it involves casting a line in bays, flats, backcountry, and coastal waters just a few miles off the beach. You’ll rarely find yourself more than 10 miles from shore, usually in water that ranges from several inches to roughly 20 feet deep. Of course, these numbers vary widely depending on the location, as do the fish you can expect to catch.
No matter where you find yourself, a few basic principles hold true. When fishing inshore, you’re likely to cast lines aboard a small boat, be it a skiff, center console, dinghy, or even a kayak. In some places where the water is shallow enough, you may even wade in the water. Inshore waves are calm, and the fishing stays fairly consistent throughout the seasons. Considering how close to shore you’ll be, travel time and fuel costs are relatively low, which makes inshore fishing in most areas cheaper and more child-friendly than offshore fishing.
Top Inshore Game Fish and Where to Find Them
Some of the planet’s most coveted inshore game fish include Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Cobia. Roosterfish is a popular inshore species in parts of Central and South America where it exists, and Giant Trevally is equally coveted in the Maldives. Though many of these species are small compared to offshore game fish, some of them can easily reach 100 lbs in size–most notably the legendary Tarpon, which is known to exceed 250 lbs.
