Land-based game fishing

Land-based game fishing is a form of big-game sport fishing in which anglers attempt to catch oceanic game fish from shore rather than from ocean-going boats. Some areas anglers can game fish from the land include public water-access points such as boat ramps, kayak launches, piers, jetties, and any other public water access. Numerous game fish can be targeted and caught from the shore using a variety of Fishing tackle and Fishing techniques. Land-based game fishing is similar to Surf fishing, however it is not restricted to just fishing the surf from beaches. Tackle used is usually comparable to that used on boats, but some differences are necessary, such as changes in rod length. Different tackle is used according to location and species targeted.
