The sun rises over the Jacksonville coast. Waves lap against the hull of our boat. A cool breeze carries the scent of salt. Rods are ready. Lines taut with anticipation. The water shimmers. A flash of red beneath the surface. Hearts race. Reels spin. A fight ensues. The redfish breaks the surface. Its scales glisten in the morning light. A prized catch. Memories made. Another day on the water. Fishing dreams fulfilled.
