There will be no trips morning. We will be back sailing both boats on Tuesday.

Captain Cole reported a great day on the blackfish grounds. The weather man really messed up the forecast and it was a very nice day. We did what we had to do and had our boat limit of fine blackfish. Jigs and rigs worked well. We do encourage everyone to try to jig because it is a blast to catch a massive white chinner on light tackle.

We would also like to wish Nick Blount a very happy 30th birthday. You may be 6000 miles away but everyone at the Frances Fleet is missing you on your special day.

Captain Cole reported an Ok day on the blackfish grounds. The less then 5 kts of wind made it hard to keep both anchors tight but we did the best with what we had. High hooks had limit catches of blackfish. Biggest fish was around 8 pounds. A few cod in the mix as well. We were swarmed by little sea bass and blackfish with some anglers reporting catching 30 fish on the trip. C

Captain Rich reported a good day as well. On the weather had it was an amazing drifting day with lots of action. PLenty of sea bass to go around and lots of smiling faces. One angler reporting catching his limit in 3 casts on the first drift.

We will only have the blackfishing boat sailing tomorrow at 6am.

Both boats will be sailing tomorrow morning at 6am and 7am. 6am for blackfishing and 7am for cod and sea bass. The office is stock with plenty of rigs and jigs from both fishery’s.

Captain rich reported a very solid day on the sea bass. we worked close to the island. We had a full boat limit of fine sea bass in a few drifts. The weather was down right wondering and we drifted all day. Tomorrow is looking like more of the same and we will be sailing at 7am.Captain Cole reported a slow day on the keeper front on the blackfish grounds. We had decent action on the shorts but alot were only 1/4″short.Bait rigs and jigs worked well.

We will be sailing tomorrow morning at 6am for blackfish and sea bass. Reservations are booked online. There is plenty of room and fishing was decent over the weekend.

Much improved fishing on the blackfish grounds today. The water was much clearer today and the fish were hungry. High hook had 4 keepers with good amount of shorts in the mix. Some sea bass in the mix to 4 pounds. A few photos from yesterdays cod boat as well. Still waiting on report from the cod boat and that will be up later. No trips tomorrow but back at it Tuesday

We had mixed results on the trips today. The water was on the dirty side all around from the ground swell. As the day went on things cleared up and we fishing improved. The blackfish was off to a slow start but by days end thinsg started to show signs of improving. We have a new game plan for tomorrow and will be expecting better results. We had 2 boats on the cod grounds today. Like the blackfish the morning started out slow but improved. Some real nice sea bass and scup in the mix. Handful of cod rounded out the days catch. Back at it tomorrow 6am and 7am.
