Striped Bass caught jigging at 351 Sesuit Neck Rd

The boat gently rocks as we drift offshore. Sunlight glints off the water. A cool breeze carries the scent of salt. Seagulls circle overhead. The fishing rod bends suddenly. Line zips from the reel. A flash of silver breaks the surface. The striped bass leaps and dives. The fight is on. Muscles strain as the fish resists. Slowly it tires. The net dips. Success. A beautiful catch glistens in the afternoon light. Memories are made. The sea whispers its secrets. Another day on the water draws to a close. The sun begins to set. We turn for home. Satisfied. Content. Already planning the next adventure.
