Captain Frank, of
The Frances Fleet in Point Judith, reports that they were glad to finally get back out on the fluke grounds. They sailed with a nice group of anglers who weren’t worried about the rain, and they were able to manage some nice catches. It’s still a bit early and wasn’t a red-hot start, but they picked up a handful of nice keepers and a decent pile of shorts. They will continue to sail whenever the forecast cooperates.
