Redfish caught while deep sea fishing at 2812 River Dr

The boat rocks gently as we cast our lines. Savannah's summer heat beats down. The partly cloudy sky provides brief respite. A tug on the line signals a bite. The reel sings as the redfish fights. Its copper scales glisten in the sun. The fish darts left and right testing our skill. We work together to bring it aboard. A proud moment as we admire our catch. The redfish is a testament to Savannah's rich waters. We snap a quick photo before releasing it. The fish swims away leaving us with lasting memories. Another cast and the cycle begins anew.
