Growing up here in Northeast Florida, being salty is the only life I have known. We went to the beach to surf and if there were no waves we loaded up to go fishing. Long before I owned my first boat I was jumping in with whoever I could catch a ride with to get bit. If not we were in the truck going fishing to catch some fish for dinner and having good times.
