Captain Frank Blount, owner of the Frances Fleet, began his career as a young mate in Point Judith. He has performed virtually every job aboard the various types of fishing vessels during his 40+ years of experience. Capt. Frank also has a degree in Fisheries and Marine Technology. Although he leaves most of the captaining these days to his well trained, professional crew, he is constantly working behind the scenes making sure the operation runs smoothly and all the boats are in tip top shape. He is also a significant force on the National Marine Fisheries Council, ensuring fishing regulations are fair and just.
