Fishing locale is a term used to describe the area where fishing takes place. The most common fishing locales are piers, lakes, and deep sea areas. A PIER is a structure built out over the water, usually made of wood or concrete, and is often used for fishing. A LAKE is a large body of water surrounded by land, and is also a popular fishing spot. Deep sea fishing is done in the ocean, usually far from shore, and requires specialized equipment and techniques.
