What is "Offshore"

Saltwater Offshore Discussion
1

How far out do YOU consider “offshore” fishing?

2

Further than you can swim back?

I would imagine past the line of demarcation.

Outside the jetties on live bottom or artificial reefs

Out of Charleston, it’s where 1) I can’t see land, and 2) the water turns from green to blue(ish). I think that ends up being a few miles outside the shipping channel?

Someone once told me you go out on the water to escape reality, so I thought about it and said no, I get on the water to find relaity

Outside inlet but within sight of land: “nearshore”. Out of sight of land: “offshore”.

Agree: If you can see land or the Ravenel, you’re nearshore. If you’re in blue water and can’t see anything, you’re offshore. If you’re 70+ miles out, you’re way offshore.
