Clams, Crabs, and Smiles
The fish showed up late, but so did we.
Where the ocean folds into the bay, we waited.
Barnegat didn’t say much, but it showed plenty.
Not every day has to be loud to be worth it.
Somewhere off Barnegat Light, the lines are steady
Salt air and still water make a fine pair.
Most stories start with mornings like this.
Right place, right time, just past the shoals.
Some days, you don’t need the bite to feel it.
Backed by water, led by instinct.
