Captain Cole reported a decent day on the grounds. We had a pick all day with some spots better then others. Many limits around the boats and others struggled some and only had shorts. Sharpies had limits and sharpies had 2. Rentals have limits and rentals had 2. Some cod showing up with the water temps getting in to prime zone. Beginning of the weeks looks good and we plan on sailing Tuesday- Wednesday. Reservations booked online at francesfleet.com

Looking like the only fishable weekend and we will be sailing both boats at 6am and 7am . Still room left on both trips. Get some thanksgiving “turkeys”!!!!

Been getting off the dock when we get a break in the weather. Blackfish is getting stronger by the day. Seeing boat limits or very close to it. Some really brutes in the 10-12lb range( released when possible) Some anglers seeing double limits(orl)

Sea bass and cod fishing has been strong as well. Easy limits on sea bass with double or triple limits being released. More cod closer to the island but jumbo sea bass on the longer rides.

Some prime charter dates left for the season. Captain Frank ran an afternoon charter and found great fishing only a stones throw from the dock. Seeing blackfish, sea bass and even codfish in 30ft of water. Anglers landing double digit catches in the matter of a few hours. Water temps are still in the upper 50s so prime time is still to come

Captain cole reported a full boat limit on the blackfish grounds. We had some real cherry drops and drop and stick fishing. High hooks had easy limits. We had some catch and release all day long. Shorts and sea bass to keep rods bent.

Captain Rich had a good day close to home on the cod and sea bass. More cod then we have been seeing the past few weeks. The sea bass were thinning close to home giving the cod a fighting chance. Not that we did not have sea bass limits around the boat it just took more then 15 minutes to achive.

Sailing both trips tomorrow at 6am and 7am.

We were finally able to get back on the grounds after a few days of strogn winds. The morning started out on the windy side but by days end it was a popcorn. We had decent action on most of the spots besides one or 2. It was a grindy day but we made a good day of it. High hooks had limit catches and some did not fair as well. Lots of 15″ fish around to rods bent between keepers. Some seabass to help fill up the buckets as well. Sailing tomorrow morning at 6am

NO trips tomorrow. We are keeping an eye on the beginning of the week and will be taking the weather day by day. We will make the weather call the day before with the 4pm update

No trips tomorrow with the strong south winds forecasted

Captain Rich reported a good day on the sea bass grounds. We had to anchor all day but the fish were hungry. We went back to were we had them yesterday but on the anchor they were much smaller. We made a short move and it was game on. Boat limit of sea bass to 5 pounds. Cod seemed to be scared from all the sea bass but we still managed a handful.

The weather looks amazing for the upcoming weekend. We have plenty of room on both boats sailing at 6am and 7am. Reservations booked at Francesfleet.com

Captain Rich reported a very solid day on the cod grounds. We had an easy boat limit of sea bass to 6 pounds. Was lights out fishing from the first stop to the last 3 horns. Jigs and bait worked very well. Some really nice over slot cod fish were returned unharmed with a handful of keepers.

Sailing both boats tomorrow at 6am and 7am.
