Roger reported the morning half day saw a pick of keeper fluke to 5 lbs and some nice sea bass to 3 lbs for the fishers aboard along with plenty of small fluke and sea bass to keep interest up at the rails. A very fast drift to boot! Kevin from Warwick had the pool winning fish of the trip with a 5 lb fluke. A picture of Kevin’s fish appears above. A couple other pictures from the half day crush yesterday aboard the Admiral Frances appear as well just to showcase some recent hi lights.
The afternoon half day today was hampered by tough weather conditions. Anglers still did see a decent amount of action with short fluke and short sea bass very close to home with a few keeper fluke in the mix.
Two half days on tap tomorrow with the first set to sail at 8 am aboard the Lady Frances and the second at 1pm aboard the Admiral Frances.
After some exceptional sightings recently on the Whale Watch we are very much looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow afternoon. Still some openings and the Whale Watch is to set sail on the Lady Frances at 1pm. Call the office to make a reservation if interested.
What a difference a day makes aboard the 7 am full day! Gusty southwest winds had more of an effect on the fluke fishing than we had hoped for. Anglers did pick away at some nice fluke to 6 lbs but the take was a fraction of yesterdays. A decent mess of sea bass keepers helped ease the sting a bit. Hi hook took home five keepers today and a few other fishers boxed three keepers apiece. Tomorrow is a new day and Capt. Rich will set sail aboard the Gail Frances at 7 am.
Early indications are that some nice Stripers up to 25 lbs were brought aboard the Lady Frances last night for a light crowd of fishers. Full details to follow! Unfortunately tonight’s trip is CANCELED due to the strong southwesterly winds and rough seas and tomorrow night’s outing is SOLD OUT!
