The boat rocks gently as we drift offshore. Sun glints off the water. A gentle breeze carries the scent of salt. Rods are baited and ready. Anticipation builds. Suddenly a line goes taut. The fight begins. A flash of red beneath the surface. The net is readied. With a final surge the fish is landed. A beautiful redfish lays on the deck. Its copper scales shimmer in the light. Another successful day on the water comes to a close.
