First mates Connor and Michael reported an all out bass and blue fish blitz aboard the Lady Frances last night. Some better size fish of both species too with several bass in the 20 lb range and a couple of fish in the mid twenties that battled it out for bragging rights. The biggest of which was taken by longtime regular customer and exceptional rod handler Ginny Reed of Bristol RI. Way to go Ginny!! Everyone left with fresh Striper and all the blue fish he or she wanted. Sizes on the blue fish into the low and even threatening mid teens! Three nights in a row of awesome night fishing, somewhat reminiscent of the “good old days”. Picture provided by Ginny’s grandson Cole. From a more retrospective perspective this has been by far the best year in the past few. Next night trip is schedule for this coming Saturday Night at 7 pm by reservation.
Captain Rich reported a much better day on the full day fluke boat. The morning started out on the slower side for fluke but had all the scup and sea bass one could want. Rich made a move south and fluke were waiting with open mouths. 50 keeper fluke came up in the last 2 hours. High hook caught 13 keeper fluke. Pool fish was taken by Mr. Cin in the last 5 minutes of the trip with a 29″ fish that was just under 10 pounds. Captain Matt is at the helm tomorrow sailing at 7am.
Captain Matt reported very good action on the half day trips. There were plenty of bent rods all around the boat but not as many keepers as we would like to see. The fish today ranged from 6 inches to a good 5 pounds. We will be sailing tomorrow morning at 8am and 1pm for the half days
