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!
