Captain
Adriano Medeiros

Member since January 2018 Ponta Delgada, Portugal
Background
Capt. Adriano Medeiros and his son Milton are experienced fishermen who love the ocean. They welcome you on board Ratinho and are always ready to make your trip fun and unforgettable. They love to meet and relate with other cultures, and they will always be ready for your adventure In the iconic waters of Azores. It's more than just fishing, it's an enjoyable day on the water filled with fish and the view of the beautiful shoreline, exploring great spots where you can stop for a swim or snorkel. Nothing makes the crew happier than taking customers out on a productive trip and seeing the smiles on their faces.
Techniques
We found people like to troll along the shoreline, so we set the outriggers trying different kinds of lures, where we normally get some nice 3–6 kg Barracudas, stopping at strategic points to do bottom fishing with shrimp, catching normally the most common inshore species like Grouper, Seabream, Snapper, and Triggerfish. For the adventurers that like to go out over 10 miles, we set our Big Game rods, reels, and lures and go for it. Please note that to make the most of it, a half-day is very little time and with little time there are less chances of a catch. We also love to know people from different countries and cultures and some come with their experience and their own techniques which we value and enjoy trying.
