Holy Shrimp! Tearin' Em Up! Charters & Captain Doug Ricciardi battling wind so strong...I started to cuss! My guests we looking at me like I was crazy...that's when I knew that were gonna catch fish. I humbly pulled up along side my seasoned comrades, they were already tearin' em up�and the direction was to toss some of the beautiful Spanish sardines as chum, then hold on�that was exactly what happened. First one on started to smoke my Penn 4500 like it was nothing, Bonito Baby! It was then that I noticed that we weren't going to anchor up. No Problem! I like drifting� even though there were 3ft swells, the fish kept biting. Big Mackerels, I mean fat and around 31 inches long. Good eating!

Keep Em Lines Tight! And They'll Bite!
