Captain Frank, of
The Frances Fleet in Point Judith, reports that they’ve been keeping themselves busy getting the boats ready for the upcoming season. They have also been working on the website and their store to make it easier for those trying to book reservations. All trips could be booked online now, including half-day, full-day fluke, squid, and even tuna trips. They have also been able to get out on the cod grounds a couple of times this week, and while fishing has been on the slower side, they found a nice mixed bag of cod, ling, cunners, and a few tautog. They will continue to sail whenever possible, and they are looking forward to fluke season!
