03.09 - GOING COASTAL...

You don't always have to run way offshore just to have a good time...


In fact, many seasoned skippers will even argue that some inshore or coastal gamefish species actually fight harder "pound for pound" than their offshore counterparts... Either way, its safe to asume that just about every man on the planet that considers himself a true sportsman has felt the utterly exciting yet indescribable feeling of being HOOKED UP in a well matched battle of man versus gamefish on light tackle.

Take a look below at some recent highlights from the boys on the PELAGIC Pro Team and judge for yourself... from the looks of things, the coastal and inshore fishing scene is blowing up all over the nation, from California to Florida, to Texas, and everywhere in between...
