What we tested
A fishing day built around searching offshore water, then changing the plan when the expected fish were not there.
What this session suggests
Distance is not the same thing as fish location. Signs, structure, tide and bait matter more than how far the boat has travelled.
What this does not prove
This was one day and one search pattern, not a controlled experiment proving that inshore water is generally better than offshore water.
Why we publish the limitations
Sea bass fishing is a field environment, not a laboratory. Tide, water clarity, light, prey, fish movement and angler execution can all change during a session. A BassLureFish result describes what happened in the recorded test. Repeated tests in different conditions are more persuasive than any single score.
