The report from last night’s squid trip was of very slow fishing despite great weather. The squid were there in huge numbers but just wouldn’t show any prolonged interest in the squid jigs. We try again tonight with Capt. Ray set to sail at 7pm.
Capt. Mike reported solid fishing today on the Lady Frances for full day fluke. Biggest fish was just under 6lbs and that honor went to David Stretch from NY. In fact David and his friend Bobby Layman teamed up for a total of 7 other nice keepers in addition to the pool fish. Way to go fellas! Mr. Kim was the only angler who had a limit today but there were a decent number of folks that had three to five nice fluke apiece to take home. Still some good quality and a fair shake of shorts to keep things from getting dull. A behemoth sea bass estimated at over 5lbs briefly saw the Lady Frances before he was sent free. Less than a month away til we can keep them!! It was a gorgeous day on the water and tomorrow looks very pleasant as well with Capt. Mike ready to set sail on the Lady Frances at 7am.
The crew from Douglas Plumbing and Heating from CT were out on a private charter with Capt. Rich and Capt. Ted on the Gail Frances and had a great time today. A nice mix of good size fluke with sizes up to 6 lbs pleased the anglers aboard. We would like to thank Douglas Plumbing for their loyalty to the Frances Fleet and some pictures from today showcasing angler hi lights will be forthcoming courtesy of Cathy in the very near future! Still plenty of prime dates available for private charter so call the office and speak to Roger, Tammy or Cory for further booking details.
