Inshore fishing, on the other hand, is anything within 9 miles of the shore line. Estuaries, bays, inter-coastal waterways, and saltwater flats are often wrongly listed as the only popular inshore fishing spots, but as we just mentioned, offshore fishing also applies to anything within 9 miles of the coast.

Inside Banderas Bay, you’ll find a huge variety of fish. Bonita, Skipjack, Jack Crevalle, Sierra Mackerel, Pargo, Red Snapper, Grouper, Mahi Mahi and dozens of other varieties await you.  While the huge trophy fish generally prefer the cooler waters of the Pacific, they do occasionally venture into the bay.  If you’re bottom fishing, trolling, or are a recreational fisherman who just wants to be on the water, this is a great destination.
