Captain Douglas C. Ricciardi & Tearin' Em Up! Charters in Sarasota, along with local anglers, this week caught an assortment of Reds, Trout, Snapper & Grouper, not much on the ladyfish, bluefish, or mac bite. However both charters this week were woken up by the unusual bending from tip to tip of the Ugly Stick, truly testing it's reputation. While dropping a few fiesty pinfish on bottom cobia rigs, we hooked up on some energetic small sharks. Blacktip & Bonnetheads, fight to the bitter end, testing an anglers endurance, and adding to the screams of joy in the air. Please check out http://sarasotafishing.org http://www.tearinemupcharters
