The sun rises over Port O'Connor. The boat engine hums. Anglers cast their lines. Waves lap against the hull. Seagulls circle overhead. A rod bends. A redfish fights. The line tightens. The reel screams. The fish surfaces. Its copper scales glisten. The net dips. The redfish is landed. Smiles all around. Another cast. Another bite. The day continues. The sun climbs higher. Fish after fish. Memories are made. Port O'Connor delivers again.
