Customers on this morning’s half day trip enjoyed absolutely beautiful weather and also some excellent fishing. Some highlights from the trip, courtesy of Christine Blount.
First mate Capt. Matt reported a solid day of fishing aboard the Gail Frances. The first two drifts produced excellent results and then thereafter it was a slower pick. Longtime regular Hahn from East Longmeadow Mass was hi hook with 7 nice keeper fluke and a handful of other fishers had four to six keepers apiece. A fair amount of sea bass and a handful of scup. Some real quality on the fluke with a good number of fish in the 4-5 lb range and several in the 7-8 lb range battling it out fro bragging rights with top honors going to longtime Frances Fleet Fisher Jack Coddington from Seymour CT who’s 8 lb fluke took the prize money. Way to go Jack! A photo of Jack with his pool fish appears below. Great weather again tomorrow and the Gail Frances will set sail at 7 am for fluke and sea bass with Capt. Rich at the helm.
Capt. George reported a decent afternoon half day of fishing for a rather enthusiastic crowd of fishers. Quite a few big sea bass to 4 lbs and some real quality fluke with two fish in the 8 lb range duking it out for bragging rights. Other fluke in the 4 to 6 lb range.
Two half days on tap tomorrow with the first set to sail at 8 am on the Lady Frances and the second at 1pm aboard the Admiral Frances.
