Capt. Cory just got word from Capt. Mike and the Tuna crew as the Lady Frances is about to slip into her berth here at the docks and the word is GOOD! The season’s first Tuna trip of the year will emphasize QUALITY over quantity but the quality was impressive. Four Big Eye Tuna in the 160 to 200 lb range hit the decks of the Lady Frances as did a 70 lb Wahoo, a 150 lb Swordfish (one of two boated!), Yellowfin, a couple of dandy handfuls of big Albacore up to 60 lbs, a handful of Mahi and a nice size White Marlin made a brief appearance as well. These are the details that we have right now and any additional will be posted as they become available. Right now there is space on ALL upcoming TUNA trips so if interested in booking please call the office to put a deposit down over the phone/make deposit arrangements with a customer service representative.
Capt Ted and first mate Chris L reported the fluking today was very good for some and not so good for others. Wind against tide the first half of the trip had something to do with that. A steadier bite did develop later in the outing which meant the action became more spread out throughout the boat. Pool fish was six pounds or just a shade under. Mostly fluke with a few handfuls of nice sea bass to 3.5 lbs and a couple of platter size scup. Mr. Kim easily limited out with buck tails today while longtime regular Gardy, Wayne and a few other anglers all iced several nice fluke apiece. Tomorrow looks like another great fishing day and Capt. Rich will be ready to set sail on the Gail Frances at 7am.
Capt. Cory relayed word of an excellent morning half day with a great mix of fluke and sea bass keepers and QUALITY was once again the theme like it has been on so many prior half day trips. The word from this afternoon’s charter was of okay fishing for the Mike Sullivan group. A picture of the Groom with a jumbo fluke appears courtesy of the charter crew.
