Roger reported chilly but pleasant fishing weather today aboard the Gail Frances with respectable cod and sea bass fishing to boot. A slow steady pick of both species. A good number of the anglers aboard were able to limit out on sea bass and we had a few bigger fish mixed in with several in the 3 to 4 lb range. For the cod there were three anglers who all had three keepers apiece. Nothing big today with the best around 8 lbs. No unmentionables at all was perhaps some of the best news of the day!! Quite a few short cod as well. Some large ocean perch and large sea flounder mixed in as well. For a change of pace we also had a bunch of big scup to at least 2 lbs, the most scup in nearly 2 weeks!! No huge numbers but a few anglers managed a half dozen nice scup apiece. A few pics today courtesy of Roger. Winds sound relaxed tomorrow but it may be wet so bring your rain gear so says the weatherman! Capt. Rich will be set to sail at 6 am aboard the Gail Frances for cod/sea bass.
Capt. Mike reported very good togging today with a bunch of limit catches recorded. There were a handful of anglers who did not fare so well but overall for this late in the game, the fishing was rock solid. A pleasant surprise came in the form of a dozen good size cod into the low teens! Biggest tog today were several fish in the 8 to 9 lb range. A lot of short cod and short tog today as well keeping things moving right along. Capt. Mike will be ready to set sail tomorrow morning at 6 am aboard the Lady Frances.
