Fishing, which has been building for a couple days now on the full day boat, took a ride towards the stars today aboard the Gail Frances. Needless to say there were many limit catches today and several anglers caught keeper numbers well into the teens (orl) !!! There were those who had a few to several keepers each as well but overall it was an awesome day of fluke fishing and most fishers went home with a very sizeable bag of fillets. The boat was near it’s limit of sea bass but did fall a few short. A few big scup but no blue fish. All quality fish today with an average size very close to the four pound mark. Plenty of jumbos with the pool fish taken by regular customer Wayne Meachum from Brimfield MA who brought a fine 8 lb slab to the safety of the net and the deck of the Gail Frances. Nice job Wayne! First mate Chris reported the fluke to be loaded with both squid and sand eels. White and Green Buck tail jigs were hot today as were regular bait rigs with limit catches recorded using both methods. Hoping for more of the same tomorrow and Capt.Rich will be set to sail on the Gail Frances at 7am.
Half day fishing has been solid. A few recent pictures courtesy longtime regular customer Ginny Reed. Two half days on tap tomorrow with the first set to sail at 8am aboard the Gail Frances and the second at 1pm aboard the Admiral Frances.
We will be out night fishing tonight so a fresh report will be up in the morning. Still plenty of room the next three nights so call to make a reservation if interested.
Whale Watching continued it’s very hot streak yesterday and there is plenty of room left for tomorrow if anyone would like to go. The Whale Watch boat is the Lady Frances and will set sail at 1pm.
