Despite an extraordinary effort on the behalf of Capt. Matt, crew and the fishers aboard the Gail Frances last night, the Striped Bass did not cooperate last night. Next trip is set for this coming Saturday Night by reservation at 7 pm.
Captain Rich reported a good day on the Fluke boat. The sea bass were out in force today with bent rods all day long. Some nice fluke to 7 pounds were also caught. Very close to a full limit of sea bass. We would have had the limit but even with the new 15″ size limit some angler would not keep anything under 18″. High hook had 5 keeper fluke. We will be sailing tomorrow morning at 7am for the full day trip.
Captain Mike was at the helm on the Lady Frances this morning for the annual Narragansett Lions VIP fishing charter. The morning started off very slow with next to no drift, but a few fish came over the rails. As the day went on the fishing picked up and anglers chipped away at fluke to 4 pounds and sea bass to 3 pounds. The afternoons trip saw some of the same fishing with a few more keepers in the mix. We will be sailing tomorrow morning at 8am for the half day and again at 1pm.
