Captain Mike will be sailing at 3 am Sunday morning on the LADY FRANCES. It looks like we will have a light crowd so come on down and enjoy a day of winter cod fishing.
COD CRUSH ON THE LADY FRANCES , THURSDAY FEBRUARY 24TH 2011!!!
What a day! Capt. Mike reported at 9:30 this morning that the historic winter cod fishing just keeps rolling right along with a savage bite all morning thus far and that the day is already long made with plenty of nice market cod all around the boat for an excellent turn out of eager cod fish anglers!!! Bait, jigs or shoelaces didnt matter what was put in front of them today the bite was ferocious!! Nothing huge with the best in the low teens .
No sail tomorrow due to the weather but the next scheduled outing is set for Saturday morning at 3am.
FEBRUARY 24TH LOCK AND LOAD
Captain Mike called in at 6:30 am to say that it is lock and load. The fishing was as good as it gets. The LADY FRANCES sailed at 3 am with a good load of anglers this morning. We didn’t have that many reservations but a group showed up that hadn’t called we were ready. As soon as Captain Mike set the anchor the fish started flying over the rail and into the coolers. We will have a full reports later today. Tomorrow looks like a scratch do to strong southerly winds. Once again we remind everyone to call the office before heading down to the docks so we can plan and you don’t show up for only to have to turn around and drive home..
Wednesday February 23rd
Capt Mike reported an excellent day of fishing. He also reported as of right now, we are remaining at the 3:00 a.m. sailing time. The fish today bit after sunrise and was pretty much non stop for most of the day. The weather although a little chilly in the morning, warmed up a bit and with very light winds. Watching anglers get off the boat this afternoon, everyone seemed very pleased with their catches. Tomorrow’s weather looks even better. We will see how the next couple days go, and make a decision about moving the sailing time.
Wednesday February 23rd
Captain Mike called in to say he was glad we didn’t change the sailing time. The LADY FRANCES sailed at 3 am. He reported that the fish started biting in full force when the sun came up. It sounds like it will be another banner day. We will have a full report when the boat gets in. We will be sailing tomorrow at 3 am. Call the office and make your reservation the weather looks great.FEBRUARY 21ST! ANOTHER BANNER DAY.
Captain Mike called into to say they were on the way home early after another great day of fishing. They sailed this morning at 3 AM with a light load and were treated to good fishing right off the bat. The coolers were filled quickly as the fish started to come over the rails as soon as they got to the grounds. It is just too bad that the snow scared a few people away. We will have a full report later. Make sure to call the office for reservations.
SAILING MONDAY 21ST
The LADY FRANCES is planning on sailing tomorrow morning at 3 am. They are calling light winds for Monday. We are not expecting a big crowd tomorrow so there will be plenty of room at the rail and in the heated cabin. Make sure to call the office today to make a reservation. We are looking forward to getting back out on the water after a couple of days off.
FEBRUARY 18th
Captain Mike reported that things were greatly improved today. They had action most of the day. Unfortunately it wasn’t the whole boat. The anglers on the port side were treated to some great fishing and for some reason the starboard side just wasn’t producing. Not only were the keepers biting but the shorts were non stop with the most that we have seen this season. It is too bad the weather is not going to cooperate this weekend. There will be no trips tomorrow. Sunday is a long shot so we will have to wait and see if the wind is going to die down. Make sure to call the office before heading down to the docks
FEBRUARY 17TH
Captain Mike reported that it was a beautiful day on the water one of the nicest of the winter season. Unfortunately the fish didn’t cooperate today. With the full moon there were a few bunches of hungry fish but no great shakes. They did catch a wolf fish today which is not common for the waters south of the Cape. All in all it was one of our slower days of the season. Tomorrow is another day and the weather looks even better. The LADY FRANCES will be sailing at 3 am.
FEBRUARY 16TH
Captain Mike just reported that they had a steady pick today. Considering that we had strong winds the past few days the water wasn’t too stirred up and it was a decent catch not a boat limit. The catch varied from limit catches to a few shut outs to everything in between. That is fishing. The next few days look like great weather. We will be sailing at 3 am.
