Striped bass fishing at Bulman Marine, The Waterfront Club

The boat gently rocks as we cast our lines. Sunlight glimmers on the water. A sudden tug excites us. The rod bends. A striped bass leaps from the waves. Its silver scales flash in the sun. We reel it in carefully. The fish fights hard. Finally we net it. A beautiful catch. We admire its size and strength. Photos are taken. Memories are made. The day is perfect. Friends laugh and share stories. The ocean breeze cools us. More fish are caught. We head back to shore satisfied. A successful fishing trip ends.
