Roger reported the morning half day was pretty busy and the weather was about as good as it gets for later June. So much for the overcast skies and a chance showers that the weatherman bragged about the past couple of days. Some quality fluke with a couple in the 5 lb range for bragging rights. A staggering amount of catch and release sea bass, a few big scup to 2 lbs, a mess of sea robins and plenty of short fluke kept things rolling right along. Near perfect drifting conditions along the local beaches this morning. A few pictures courtesy of Roger.
This afternoon trip was reported to be slower due to no drift. Two half days on tap tomorrow with the first at 8am and the second at 1pm, both on the Lady Frances.
Capt. Rich and first mate Chris reported a slow day of fluke fishing aboard the Gail Frances. Just no drift to speak of all day. A few fishers did manage to put several fluke apiece in their coolers. Biggest was around six pounds. The catch and release sea bassing for the last day for awhile was epic. A handful of good size scup and some sea robins and smoothies mixed in as well. No blue fish today. Tomorrow is a new day and Capt. Rich will set sail aboard the GAIL FRANCES at 7 am for full day FLUKE AND SEA BASS!!!
