The Frances Fleet reported good fishing this past week on both the full and half day trips. The weather did force them to cancel a few trips, but when they were able to get out the fluke and black seabass were cooperating. There are quite a few short fluke being caught with some keepers mixed in and the number of keeper sea bass has been increasing on recent trips. You can view their full schedule on their website where you can also make reservations for upcoming trips. Weekend trips have been selling out so be sure to make your reservations early.

The Frances Fleet reported that anglers are seeing good results on both their full and half day trips for fluke and black sea bass. More keeper sized sea bass have moved into the area over the last couple of weeks, taking some of the pressure off of the fluke fishing which is also improving. They are running full day trips along with morning and afternoon half-day trips for fluke and black sea bass. Private charters can also be arranged for larger groups and they have some special trips like whale watching on the upcoming calendar. You can view their full schedule on their website where you can also make reservations for upcoming trips.
