me and Gary fished on the Lady Frances (or Gail Frances) yesterday
About 30 -35 fares.
fishing was very slow. We fished the bow and had seven fish between us all day, three throwbacks and four small keepers about 3 lbs.
Very slow day. Pretty day on the water but our fish didnt coop and the skipper tried many spots.
I was surprised to see the other report about the Montauk boat, because our first stop we saw a Viking boat out there with us and many other party and charter boats in the block island area. I assumed it was a slow day all around bc our fish had lockjaw.
Id hate to guess the actual number of fish landed, but I was up in the bow and could see most fisherman all day and it was very slow.
Great skipper and great crew. Interestingly enough, the two prior days the boat did very well, with many limits.
Don't know what to tell you other than I think that we were inshore of you a little. A lot of limits were caught on my boat yesterday. I was on the Rosie.
I was out on the 15th and it was SLOW! There were 15 fish on the boat for 20 guys. Shorts were even hard to come buy. I was on one of the Viking boats and the other boat reported a good pick? They were by us all day and they had the same type fishing we had. If a few fish are caught they call it a decent pick. From what I've heard the fishing has been decent with most boats just limiting out on good days. It's a little inconsistant, but maybe it will break open like last year.
As I stated earlier in this thread we had very good action the same day.
Here is a copy of the report posted by the captain.
