Summer flounder caught using light tackle fishing in Hubert NC

The boat gently rocks as we drift across the calm waters. Sunlight glimmers on the surface. A tug on the line. Excitement builds. The rod bends. A flash of silver beneath. The flounder breaks the surface. Its flat body twists. We net it carefully. The crew cheers. Another cast. The day is young. More fish await. The ocean stretches endlessly. Adventure calls. We answer.
