The report from Capt. Cory was of a much improved Striped Bass fishing scene last night. Seems like it was a great night for the ladies who were on board as they caught about half of the bass while longtime regulars Sebastian and his crew had the rest including the pool! Biggest fish was around 20 lbs and there were a number of other fish that were in the running as well. Just one blue fish. At least two limits were recorded last night. Still some openings on tonight’s run so if interested please call the office to make a reservation. A picture from last night is provided by Capt. Cory.
The report from this morning’s half day was of very good fishing with lots of good size sea bass, some nice fluke and a handful of big porgies. A fairly quick drift did not deter the fish from jumping on the baits and lures presented before them. Even a double header keeper sea bass on the same buck tail!! A couple of pictures are provided courtesy of the crew from the half day this morning. Next half day trips are slated for tomorrow with the Lady Frances set to sail at 8am and again at 1pm.
We here at the Frances Fleet would like wish congrats to first mate Troy and his girlfriend Courtney, who welcomed Kylie Jean into the world late yesterday evening. At 6lbs 11oz she sure sounds like a keeper!
The report from first mates Capt. Ted and Chris L from the 7am full day Fluke/Sea bass boat was of almost carbon copy fishing as compared to yesterday. A decent pull of nice fluke to nearly 7lbs with a few other jumbos over 4lbs and some nice size sea bass and a few good size porgies and two blue fish. Not bad at all considering it was wind against tide for a good part of the morning. A handful of anglers managed to ice several nice keepers apiece. No word was given on any specifics in regards to what was working better than something else and vice versa. Next trip sets sail tomorrow morning with Capt. Rich at 7am.
