Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between inshore and offshore fishing?

The main thing that makes a difference is how far you fish from shore. 

Inshore fishing is done closer to the coast. Smaller motor boats, kayaks and canoes are used as the waters are much calmer compared to offshore fishing. Lighter tackle is used as you’re fishing for smaller fish overall. You will travel short distances and spend more time fishing than travelling. Most inshore rods will use spinning or baitcasting reels.

Offshore fishing involves travelling from the coast out to deeper waters, usually using larger, sometimes sport fishing boats. The weather and time of year determine the types of fish you will catch. Heavy bait and heavy-duty tackle are required to fight these larger fish. Offshore fishing usually requires radar, sonar, or drone to find the fish, and it takes significantly more time to fish offshore, as you will more likely spend longer periods from shore.
