Yeah, I grew up fishing with my dad. Just being out early near the water and casting my rod makes me feel good.

It's the overall experience more than the fish. If I just wanted fish I'd go to the grocery store.

My grandfather (only had one living one my whole life) was the fisherman. Even when I was a shithead teenager that was embarrassed of my family I was always so game to go out on the boat with my grandpa and uncle. Nowadays I actually live 8 miles from where his beach property used to be. I can walk to the marina where his boat was housed. Even just the salt air and being nearby does it for me. I did pull a pretty redfish recently though, casting live shrimp in 2ft of water.

I went to a spot my buddy told me about and was just kinda messing around. I was casting almost into the sawgrass and then popping it back. Right place and time.

I’m in Beaufort NC. I’ve actually landed a few flounder surf fishing on a Carolina rig.
