Roger reported a great day of fishing today aboard the Gail Frances. We had an excellent catch of bigger size sea bass today with quite a few legit jumbos over 2 lbs and a fair amount of fish between 3 and 4 lbs with a few just over the 4 lb mark. For cod we had about the same amount as yesterday but they were FAR more spread out around the boat. Hi hook was Mr. Lee who boxed four good size keepers and there were two other fellas who had three cod apiece to take home. “Captain K” from Hartford CT took the pool today with a fine green fish in the low teens just narrowly defeating longtime regular Kumio from West Hartford CT who’s nice green cod just missed by ounces! Well done gentlemen! A mess of good size ocean perch, a pleasantly surprising number of good size scup to 2lb, a couple nice size red hake, and very manageable numbers of the unmentionables made today’s outing all the more enjoyable. Anglers also released a surprising number of ocean pout , along with quite a few short cod and a few short pollock. Nearly everyone used clams today although one fella jigged up a nice market cod this morning before loosing his jig to the rock gods. Pictures today courtesy of Roger. Tomorrow sounds like another great day for fishing and the Gail Frances will be set to sail at 6 am with Capt. Rich at the helm.
Capt. Mike reported a slow day of togging. Jacob was hi hook with three keeper tog. A fair amount of cod fish on board and there were some short tog and short cod but overall it was on the quiet side. Tomorrow and Monday are the last days to get a crack at a 9th inning tog or two and Capt. Matt will be ready to set sail at 6 am aboard the Lady Frances.
