Red Snapper caught while deep sea jigging, trolling, and using heavy tackle at Shoreline Park

The boat rocks gently as we cruise offshore. Sunlight glints off azure waves. Billy checks the lines. A rod bends sharply. Fish on. The reel screams as line peels out. A flash of red beneath the surface. It's a snapper. Billy grabs the net. The fish breaks the surface. Crimson scales glisten. Into the boat it comes. A beautiful Red Snapper. High fives all around. What a perfect day on the water. The fish goes on ice. We reset the lines. Ready for the next one. The adventure continues under blue skies.
