Roger reported a good day of tog fishing aboard the Lady Frances. There were quite a few limit catches noted around the boat today with some also right behind. There were also, however, a handful of anglers who did not do so well. Sometimes party boat fishing is a story of the haves and have nots. Half a dozen big fish today between 8 and 10 lbs with the pool fish being 10 lbs. Quite a few others in the 5 to 6 lb range as well. Quite a few sea bass taken overall with some anglers easily limiting out on nice keepers with a few upwards to nearly 2 lbs. Two fine keeper cod and several short cod plus lots of short tog and short sea bass and short scup kept anglers busy at the rail throughout the day. Soft baits did have some degree of success with the tog today as well. In fact one angler scored half of his limit catch using soft bait and another sharpie quickly added some clam to his hooks to seal the deal on a limit catch today. The weather was great today as well adding to a very enjoyable day on the water. Just a few pics today to showcase some of what was happening today on the Lady Frances, provided courtesy of Roger. Capt. Mike will be at the helm tomorrow, ready to set sail at 6 am aboard the Lady Frances.
Tomorrow looks like a great day to go looking for cod fish and jumbo sea bass and Capt. Rich will be at the helm of the Gail Frances, ready to set sail at 7 am. The weather looks great for tomorrow but the weather this weekend does not look very good for cod fishing however we will be closely evaluating future forecasts to see if there are any changes for the positive through the day tomorrow.
Reminder again that tomorrow is the LAST DAY this year the cod boat will depart at 7am. Starting November first the sailing time changes to 6 am. The calendar schedule remains the same.
