I have always loved fishing. There is just something about being out on the water. It is hard to explain, in exact words, especially to someone who has never been blessed with the experience. The soothing feeling that comes from the swaying of the boat and the sound of the water splashing against the bow is quite hypnotic. The distinct, crisp smell of the warm, salt infused, southern air rekindles thoughts of the past adventure’s and explorations of our forefathers. The fish that swim below some of them larger than the boat you’re in! A longing for a battle, man against beast. Fishing on the open water, Fishing for adventure!
Man on the vast and open sea, tiny in comparison to his surroundings, truly at the mercy of the elements. Water being, the most powerful of all the earthly elements, necessary for the sustenance of life yet able to destroy, unlike anything else on the planet. As hypnotic as it can be it is a place where your senses come alive. Your survival depends on it! For me it is this combination of peacefulness and danger that captures my thoughts, leads me into daydreams and fuels my desires to once again be in a boat on the open water! You just never know what great adventure is in store for you over the next wave!
