Inshore and Offshore fishing can get confusing but today that ends.

What Is the Difference Between Inshore and Offshore Fishing?

Here’s the difference between Inshore and Offshore fishing:

Inshore is designated as State of Florida fishery and Offshore is designated as a Federal Reef and you must have a Pelagic Permit.

Inshore is always insight of land ranging from 60’-90’ depth and up to 9 miles from land.

Offshore is mostly out of sight of land ranging from 100’-300’ depth and 9+ miles from land.  The human eye can see right up to around 12 miles so technically you still can see land when offshore fishing but it’s tiny.
