All my beauties were taken with 100 feet of shore. I have heard of people fishing them beyond the three-mile limit.
Which is “against the law.” Even if you plan to catch and release. The most distance I have taken one is about a half-mile off shore. Never even needed to looked for my fish any further than that.
I didn’t have too.
My Wife, one of my sons and I, belong to this exclusive club.
I must tell you her first large fish a 49lb 8oz was more impressive in the pictures than any of her Fifties.
