  • Took a fishing cruise from Plum Island to just off the shoals. We ran into a massive school of frenzied mackerel; the crew said they'd never seen anything like it. As soon as your hook touched the water, you had a bite. Filled up two buckets before calling it quits. Then they cut the heads and tails for you to take the good stuff home. Took home enough fish for an army.
