Word from the tatoug boat was of a pretty solid start to the season with the pool fish up around ten pounds and a handful of other handsome specimens in the 6-7lb range with at least three angler limits being easily reached. The tog however were not nearly as spread out as we would have liked to see, definitely a case of the haves and have nots. There were a few keeper sea bass and a few keeper scup mixed in. Plenty of short tog and short sea bass kept most fishers busy as well. Capt. Mike will set sail aboard the Lady Frances tomorrow at 6 am.
Word from the cod boat was of a pick of cod fish amidst a barrage of other cellar dwellers. There were a lot of big scup to at least three pounds with many over the two pound mark. Things still look wonderful for next Saturday and there were a few decent size sea flounders, a mess of good size ocean perch and unfortunately a share of the unmentionables but they are par for the course this time of the year. Biggest cod was reported to be just south of the 20 lb mark. The big fish as well as some other cod fish were taken with jigs this morning. Bait worked as well. The cod fish on the boat were fairly spread out today as well. Some short cod as well. Capt. Rich will set sail tomorrow morning aboard the Admiral Frances at 6 am.
