Capt. Rich reported a fair amount of market cod today and a fair amount of short cod today which is very good news. Biggest cod around 8 lbs and most of them were reported to be on the greener side which is always good news. Not as many scup around today but some nice ones to 2lbs and a bunch of keepers with a few anglers getting upwards to a couple dozen of them apiece, and a mess of good size sea bass today. At least a few sea bass limits and quite a few jumbos with sizes up to 5 lbs. Once again some great action with slammer blue fish into the low teens to keep anglers on their toes and that may have had something to do with the slightly slower scup bite today. Next mixed bag trip featuring cod fish sails tomorrow morning at 7 am aboard the Gail Frances with Capt. Rich at the helm.
First mates Capt. Matt and Capt. Cote reported an excellent start to the fall black fish season! There was a nice pick of tog all day long and plenty of short tog as well to keep the anglers busy. There were at least a half dozen or so limit catches and others who were not far behind. Kevin from Western Mass had a great day today with a full limit of tog to 8 lbs and a fine 15 lb Striper and of course the pool! A few handfuls of keeper sea bass mixed in as well. Way to go Kevin! Capt. Mike will set sail tomorrow at 6 am for tatoug at the helm of the Lady Frances.
