Projo Fishing: HotBytes

Charley Cinto's experience and expertise pays off again Charley Soares photo

Charley Soares, pictured at right, says, "I'm sending you these photos not to boast but to show you how good the fishing has been."

Charley generally fishes the Elizabeth Islands off New Bedford.

"We can't predict what we might find on any day," He says, "but the fishing has been pretty consistent. Although I anger wannabes who catch one large fish and consider it a ticket to fame, I believe the size of the fish is luck.

"It's consistency that makes the difference and Charlie Cinto is a prime example of that."

He add a post-script: "I don't chunk or anchor and wait for fish. We hunt them using plugs, eels and live baits."

The name of the image showing Charley Soares is "Hogy Paddle Tail Jumbo." That's what the lure in the striper's mouth looks like.
