The report from Capt. Mike was of a good morning of action with the sea bass with some nice fluke as well. There were a fair amount of sea bass limits. One very noteworthy fish and the biggest fluke that the half day has encountered in a few years was taken by regular customer Katie Gallagher from East Greenwich, RI. This mammoth 31.5 inch fluke tipped the scales at 11.5 lbs (our certified calibrated contest scale). Katie fooled this big doormat using a bait rig that was adorned with a small glo squid. Way to go Katie!! A picture of this great fish appears courtesy of Roger.
Capt. George reported an excellent afternoon on the half day with a big pile of good size sea bass up to 4 lbs and a nice bunch of quality fluke. Sizes on the fluke to at least 6 lbs.
Two half days on tap tomorrow with the first set to sail at 8 am on the Lady Frances and the second at 1pm aboard the Admiral Frances.
First mate and general manager/dock manager Cory Blount reported the Gail Frances LIMITED OUT on good size fluke today and was back to the dock tied up by 3 pm!! Everyone on board left with a full limit of good size fluke today. Hi hooks caught around 15 or so for the day(orl). Combining quantity and quality today would be a hard day to match in recent times! A number of regular fluke fishers reported that today’s fishing was some of the “best they had ever seen”!! All terminal tackle worked but jigs and gulp seemed to be the most productive although no real specifics were given on styles/flavors etc. Whole squid also was reported to work well. Cory reported 60 fluke over 5 lbs today!! Six fish in the 8 lb range fought it out for the pool and there many other fish in the 6-7 lb range. A lot of other big keepers around 3 lbs avg size as well today. Decent numbers of sea bass to 3 lbs today with a good number of the fishers aboard getting their limit of those to go along with their fluke. Just an awesome day. A few pictures from early in the trip provided courtesy Cory. Other pictures are reported to be forthcoming. Tomorrow is the next trip, Capt. Rich will set sail on the Gail Frances at 7am.
Last night’s bass trip produced some quality bass to nearly 20 lbs. Plenty of room on tonight’s trip so please call the office if interested in making a reservation.
