The Frances Fleet took advantage of the great weather this past week, running multiple trips for tautog. The bite has generally been very good with those anglers that stick it out at the rail often limiting out on tautog. There have also been some nice sized black sea bass and scup mixed in with the tog. Some trips are selling out so be sure to reserve if you would like to get out with them. As always, you can view the full schedule on their website where you can also make reservations for upcoming trips.

The Frances Fleet has been reporting very good fishing for tautog on recent trips with several full boat limits and plenty of action from small fish to keep the rods bent at the rail all day long. They have been catching some black sea bass and scup mixed in with the tautog. Trips are selling out so be sure to book early. They have been running more than one boat on busy weekends to try to accommodate more anglers. As always, you can view their full schedule on their website where you can also make reservations for upcoming trips.
