ALL TRIPS CANCELED FOR MONDAY MEMORIAL DAY, MAY 29TH DUE TO THE WEATHER!!!
Capt. Mike reported some fishers easily limited out on this morning’s half day trip with the sea bass. Young Anthony Mecurio from Providence really put on a clinic this morning! A handful of nice size fluke to 7 lbs and some short fluke and short sea bass made up the catching for the morning trip. A couple of photo hi lights courtesy first mate Danny Beck.
The report from the afternoon trip was of a slow pick of fluke and sea bass. Next half day trips are set to sail next weekend with the first at 8 am and the second at 1pm.
Capt. Rich and first mate Chris L reported an enthusiastic turn out of fishers today but the bite on the fluke was just okay. The good news is that the fish were far more spread out around the boat than yesterday. Former first mate Cote was hi hook with 3 nice size fish including a mammoth 29 inch slab estimated to be nearly 9 lbs which fell victim to a whole squid bait on a home made rig. There were two other fish in the 7 lb range as well as a few nice size sea bass and a handful of blue fish. Next trip will set sail Tuesday morning at 7 am.
Plenty of room on tonight’s squid trip set to sail at 7 pm aboard the Lady Frances with Capt. Matt.
