The boat rocks gently. Sunlight glints off the water. A fisherman casts his line. Ripples spread across the surface. Birds circle overhead. The air smells of salt. Suddenly a tug on the line. The reel spins. A fight begins. The rod bends. Muscles strain. A flash of red beneath the waves. The net dips. A beautiful redfish emerges. Scales shimmer in the light. Another successful catch on the Pamlico Sound.
