Captain Frank was out today on a private charter and saw a full boat limit of blackfish. This is a great sign for the season to come with the water still on the warm side. We will be starting out blackfishing trips on Friday at 6am. The weekend is looking great and we will be togging all weekend long. Book your spots online before they are gone, Francesfleet.com

We sailed yesterday morning and yet again the forecast was wrong. We steamed out to the island and tossed the hook. It was slower then we would have liked but we did see alot of life between keepers and shorts. High hook boxed 3 cod and sea bass limits. The grounds seemed to be full of life and we are excited to get back out when we can drift. We do plan on sailing tomorrow morning at 7am. The week looks and we plan on sailing every day by reservation.

Dont Forget blackfish starts this weekend!! The crew was down at the dock putting away a fresh load of crabs ready for the the season. 6am sailing on the 15th

Finally getting a break in the weather after the last few weeks. We have been able to fish the past 4 days with mixed results. Some days have been better then others. Earlier in the week were finding very pale sea bass mixed in with scup and cod fish. As the trips went on and the weather got nicer things started to improve. Anglers are getting sea bass limits mixed in with good sized scup. Jigging seems to be the best for the codfish.

We are sailing tomorrow morning and Friday Morning by reservations booked online.

Looks like the windy weather is behind us for now and we do plan on sailing tomorrow morning at 7am for sea bass and cod. If you want to join us please book online at francesfleet.com Book by 5pm today to get a spot for tomorrow

Been a little while between reports. Been busy fishing and busy getting the boats hunkered down for Lee.

Full day fishing has seen some good trips and slower trips depending on the conditions. The beginning part of September saw a good shot of fluke mixed in with the sea bass. As the days went on we started seeing more scup and sea bass and a few cod show up. Things seem to be really switching over to the true fall mixed bag fishing. We have been full stocked with squid and clams and you never know what your gonna pull up. We have fished by Block and have taken the ride down to the Ledge. The past week it seems the sea bass fishing has exploded and things are shaping up for a good fall run. We di not fish most of the past week due to getting the boats ready for Hurricane Lee. We made it out with out a scratch and we will be back fishing as soon as the waters calm down some.

Been at the grind the last past few weeks … some days better then others but over all solid fishing … biggest fish of the past 2 weeks was 13 with a 12.5 right behind … sea bass limits around the full day and half day … some blackfish and throw back cod in the mix …. Half day season has come to an end but we will be doing 1/2 full day trips a day for the rest of the year… sea bass limit is 6 as well as 5 cod and 4 black… plenty of fish for the tables… reservations booked online at francesfleet.com

We have been a little behind on these reports but been very busy non the boats. We also update nearly daily on facebook and 10-15 local pages and grounds.

We have been seeing some of the biggest fluke of the year going 13lbs and the next day seeing 12.5.

Been seeing easy sea bass limits and fluke limits on the full day grounds. Some days have been better then other but angler who dial in are going home with nice bags for the dinner table.

Half day fishing has been lock and load fishing with the little sea bass. We have to pick through lots of shorts to find the table sizes. biggest fluke on half days have been 8 pounds and sea bass to 5lbs
