The sun glints off the water as our boat cuts through the waves. A gentle breeze carries the scent of salt. Anticipation builds as we near our fishing spot. The captain points out a school of redfish. We cast our lines. The water erupts. A fighter takes the bait. The reel sings as line peels off. We struggle against the powerful fish. Finally we bring it alongside. A beautiful red drum shimmers in the sunlight. We snap a quick photo before releasing it back to the depths. Another successful day on the Gulf.
