The Frances Fleet was out for squid on Friday and reported going well but customers catching well. Some filled buckets while others went home with more than enough for a couple of meals. They will add regular squid trips to the calendar for as long as they stick around. They also have full day fluke trips scheduled and the fluke fishing is starting to heat up around Block Island. You can check their schedule and make reservations on their website.

The Frances Fleet has been fishing when conditions permit and reported slightly better results with the tautog this past week. The water is still cold but heading in the right direction and the fish and bait are moving in as expected. There hasn’t been much for reports of squid locally yet, so they are holding off for another week before adding squid trips to the schedule. Things can change fast this time of year so keep an eye on their website for the schedule of upcoming trips. They are also making reservations for private charters for the 2026 season.

If you’d like to accompany an angler but choose not to fish, you’re welcome to join in the fun and perhaps do some sunbathing at a discounted rate. Anglers looking for pure excitement, sport and the ultimate in fishing challenges are advised to try one of the Frances Fleet’s offshore tuna. They offer numerous offshore tuna trips beginning in late August and running until late October. Due to the overwhelming demand for such trips, reservations are needed. Also of special interest are their whale watch expeditions. These excursions run in July and August, five days per week. Past participants enjoyed sighting various forms of marine life, including finback whales, humpbacks, minke whales, dolphins, sea turtles, giant ocean sunfish, sharks and a wide array of bird life.
