First mate Troy reported EXCELLENT fishing today for the handful of anglers who braved some morning rain to come down and spend the day on the Gail Frances. About half of the boat was limited out and no one had fewer than four nice fish today with hi hook longtime regular Frank from NJ managing 12 nice keepers (orl). Mickey Bell from Rye Brook,NY had the biggest fish of the day with a fine 8 lb slab and Mickey easily managed a full limit of nice size fluke and so on. Mr. Bell took the big fish on a whole squid. A picture of the big fish was provided courtesy Mr. Bell. Troy reported all terminal gear was effective today but pink and neon yellow Gulp were particularly effective fished on buck tails or bait rigs. Capt. Tackle is fully stocked with a wide array of Gulp products for anglers who are interested. All fluke today, no sea bass or blue fish. The weather looks INCREDIBLE the next SEVERAL days and Capt. Rich will be set to sail tomorrow morning at 7am aboard the Gail Frances.
Capt. George reported a very good afternoon Half Day of fishing today! The big fish tipped the scales at 7.5 lbs and there were a half dozen other fish over 4lbs. Lots of nice keeper fluke and a few handfuls of good size sea bass spread around the boat this afternoon and nearly all on rental rod set ups. Some shorts today on both species provided some additional action as well and kept anglers busy at the rail. The weather was fantastic as well. More awesome weather in store the next few to several days. Tomorrow we offer half day fishing 8am to Noon and again at 1pm returning at 5pm. Both half days will take place aboard the Admiral Frances.
We wound down our Whale Watch season today. We would like to thank all our Whale Watch customers for their patronage this past season. Whale Watching is to resume again early next July.
