The Frances Fleet reported a very good week of fishing for fluke and sea bass on the full and half day trips. They have been seeing better numbers of keeper fluke on recent trips along with nice sized sea bass and scup. While the fluke fishing will likely start to wind down later this month, early and mid-September can provide some very good fishing with a shot at some real doormats. Following the long weekend, they will be focusing on full day fluke trips until they start running for tautog later this fall. You can view their full schedule on their website where you can also make reservations for upcoming trips. Trips have been selling out especially on the weekends so be sure to make your reservations early!

The Frances Fleet continues to report good fishing on both the full and half day trips where they have been seeing good numbers of fluke, black sea bass and scup coming over the rails. There is still plenty of time left in the season and they are seeing a lot of bait on the fluke grounds which should hold fish in the area for a while longer. They plan to continue running both their full and half day trips daily through September 7th at which point the half day trips will be limited.
