First mate Chris L reported a near boat limit of sea bass to four pounds and a respectable amount of fluke up to 9 lbs. A few fishers had four nice fluke apiece to take home. Just a few porgies mixed in today. Longtime regular customer and exceptional rod handler James took the pool with a fine 9 lb slab today. Other jumbo fluke taken as well such as the beauty caught by longtime regular customer Scott Minakani from Cliffside Park NJ who was kind enough to send in a picture of the beautiful flatfish. September 1st (tomorrow) ushers in our bump up in sea bass where fishers will be able to bring home 7 15 inch or better sea bass per fisher. Weather looks excellent for fishing. Capt. Rich will set sail at 7 am aboard the Gail Frances.
The report for the morning and afternoon half day trips from Capt. George was of slightly better fishing than yesterday, a mix of sea bass and a few handfuls of nice size fluke. Two half days on tap for tomorrow with the first to set sail at 8 am and the second at Noon, both aboard the Admiral Frances.
