Deb, The shore is always visible from where we fish in Baja, although the water is a mile deep where we fish. There are whales, sea turtles, and all sorts of denizens of the deep- all within easy sight of land. Baja is a peninsula, with sharp drop-offs to the ocean floor. No channels are needed as a ship could beach in many areas without going aground first.

I think Paul and Don O hit the nail on the head. When they talk of off-shore fishing here I think of out past the islands and further out and inshore I think of the bay and the inlets. Our bay has deep boat channels for cruise ships but it couldn't sustain large game fish. We've been having fish "die offs" in the bay during the summer from a lack of oxygen among other things. I guess if you can see the shore I would think of it as inshore which would cover the deep channels Don O spoke of. I just asked Steve (my husband) what he thought of as inshore fishing and his definition was even tighter than mine. He thought of wading waters only a boat is off shore. He just changed his definition though... he looked it up. LOL Now you know who the analytical one in the family is. :) Inshore is defined as land is visible or nearly visible. That interesting to see how we all think of something different.
