Squid fishing last night was on the slow side. Next trip sails tonight at 7pm on the Lady Frances with Capt. Ray. They have to start chewing sometime soon! Plenty of room so if interested call the office to make a reservation or just come on down!
Some great news on this morning’s half day and morning half day private charter. Both Capt. Matt on the Lady Frances and first mate Troy on the Admiral Frances reported their customers enjoyed very good fishing along the beach today. Biggest fish taken on the charter was a fine 6 lb slab with both boats enjoying a nice pull of keepers and plenty of shorts for action packed fishing!! In addition a mess of catch and release jumbo sea bass, a few cock tail blue fish and some super size sea robins to add some variety. It was a fast drift today so naturally bait rigs reigned supreme especially those of the more plain jane variety. The report from first mates Troy and Capt. Cory was that the afternoon trip was plagued by wind against tide conditions and there were just a few handfuls of keepers and shorts for the enthusiastic crowd aboard. Two half days on tap for tomorrow with the Lady Frances set to sail at 8am for the first one and again at 1pm for the second one. Remember if one does back to back half days he or she can receive $15 off the second trip which is a very full day of fluke fishing for just $65!!
The report from first mates Capt. Ted and Chris L was of very good fishing today despite rocket ship speed like drifting conditions. Nevertheless the fluke were chasing down both the buck tails and bait rigs. There were several reported angler limits and a better amount of those quality jumbo size fish. Quite a few if not most of the anglers aboard had several nice fluke apiece to take home. Sung Koo from Storrs CT took the pool today with a thick 27 inch slab estimated to be around 7.5 lbs and this fish was one of three jumbos Mr. Koo had in his tally. One small blue fish today otherwise it was all fluke and there were quite a few shorts to keep the anglers interested at the rails in between the keepers. One picture of the pool fish today provided courtesy of Roger. Weather looks great for tomorrow and the Gail Frances will be set to sail for fluke at 7 am with Capt. Rich at the helm.
